Ülker chocolate bar

Ülker is a prominent brand originally founded in Türkiye in 1944 by Sabri Ülker. The brand has grown into a global powerhouse in the snacks and confectionery industry. The packaging specifically notes that the product is 'Made in Türkiye' (Türkiye'de üretilmiştir), reflecting its strong local manufacturing base where most of its core products are produced.

The brand is a central part of pladis, a global biscuit and confectionery company. While Ülker remains a Turkish brand at its heart, it is part of the larger Yıldız Holding family, which is headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey. Yıldız Holding expanded its global footprint significantly by acquiring major international brands like Godiva and United Biscuits, consolidating them under the pladis umbrella. Today, Ülker products are enjoyed across many continents, maintaining their status as a household name in their country of origin while operating as a key player in the international market.
