Pasta Industrialists Association of Turkey was established in November 1993 with the name of Pasta Industrialists Association. It serves to the development of the sector with the 25 member pasta manufacturers.

Most of the pasta produced in the domestic market was being produced by the association members. Therefore in 1997, with the decision of the cabinet council, “Turkey” phrase has been added to the name of the association. This has been the first step taken to present the sector on the international platform. Our association, having the authorization to represent Turkey, is the founder member of International Pasta Organization (IPO) ) and honorary member of the Union of Organizations of Manufacturers of Pasta Products (UNAFPA).
