About Us
MND Gıda: A Legacy Since 1984
Our journey began in 1984 as Şehirli Ticaret, driven by a passion for bringing the finest, highest-quality food products to consumers. Growing alongside Türkiye's dynamic economy, the company embraced innovation and continuous development, evolving into the MND Gıda brand. Today, we proudly combine decades of experience with a modern and forward-looking approach to deliver quality, trust, and exceptional taste to every table.
With its Lokman and De Lucca brands, MND Gıda combines traditional values with a forward-looking vision. Proud of its Turkish heritage, the company strives to compete successfully in global markets while sustaining its growth through the trust and loyalty of its consumers.
Committed to human health and hygiene, MND Gıda embraces the principle of "Never produce a product you wouldn't feed to your own child." The company considers it its responsibility to raise consumer awareness about the production process, origin, and quality of the products they purchase, empowering them to make informed choices.
Message From The President
We recognize that there are other distinguished companies that consider serving the country to be paramount, and we are glad to know we are not alone in this conviction. …
Mehmet Şeherli
Panda Group Chairman of the Board
The 42-year manufacturing heritage of the MND Gıda brand traces back two generations. My grandfather sold natural goods, including traditional jams, artisanal cheeses, and butter in Kayseri. I am the only member of our family who shared an interest in my grandfather's trade and chose it as my profession.
Although my grandfather had a major influence on my choice, the real reason I entered the food sector was my firm belief that food must be produced properly and according to tradition. I felt capable of doing this job justice, so I decided to step into the food industry—a sector open to continuity and growth—to build a long-lasting brand that would endure for my children and even grandchildren. Looking back now, I can see that I made the right choice.
While it is a true honor to speak about an enterprise that set out with a few traditional breakfast products and today manufactures 350 different items—providing a livelihood for hundreds of dedicated people—all of this reminds me to pause and reconsider two facts: 'What a great deal we have accomplished, and how much more lies ahead to be conquered...' Guided by our belief in our nation, growth, and continuous evolution through preserving our core values, we have consistently moved forward. We have embraced the modern era without ever leaving our traditional roots behind.
“Our respect for humanity and our business has made us a well-respected brand.”
We are convinced that building a healthy tomorrow relies on the healthy nourishment of our children. If we recall that breakfast is the most critical among the main meals, the immense significance of our work becomes evident once more. MND Gıda advances and expands with full awareness of these priorities, and with every step of our growth, we strive to find new ways to better serve our nation.
VISION
To become a highly preferred brand in global markets and a robust leader in Turkey by reinventing traditional tastes through innovative products, while setting benchmarks in food safety and quality standards.
To evolve into a leading food enterprise that earns a trusted place at every table, driven by a commitment to sustainable manufacturing and a consumer-centric approach.
MISSION
To offer products of high quality and food safety standards by combining traditional flavors with modern production insights, and to develop innovative and delicious breakfast solutions that safely reach our consumers' tables.
Driven by our principle, “We do not produce anything we wouldn't feed to our own children,” we aim to create value for our stakeholders by placing naturalness, trust, and sustainable production at the heart of all our processes.
