2. Founded as Agrovita in the summer of 2011, on
the Balikesir premises of the former Tat factory,
sitting idle since its closure and removal of its
equipment to Harranova plant in 2007.
The old factory was quickly renovated and fitted
with latest CFT equipment.
The company attracted the attention of Döhler
Group just after 2 seasons, and Döhler invested
into Agrovita resulting the company to change its
name to Döhler Marmara.

Our Story

3. Balikesir is perfectly located for this industry, as it’s
right at the center of major agricultural areas.
Main agricultural products around Balikesir form a
rich list of fruits and vegetables such as tomato, red
pepper, and peach.
The location is of strategic significance especially for
peach:
Döhler Marmara is the closest processing plant to
peach growing triangle Bursa, Çanakkale and
Balikesir.
The plant is equidistant to two major ports: Izmir
and Gemlik.
For Döhler’s operations, it covers an important
geography and complements Denizli and Karaman
plants.
Our Location

4. Döhler Marmara had a clear vision
of what it needed: a line that could
process and maintain the essential
characteristics of the raw materials
in terms of taste, aroma and color,
but would also be “sustainable”
with a delicate touch.
The production line has two points
of excellence that allows Döhler
Marmara to put its philosophy into
practice:
Zenith Chrono extraction line
Mixflow evaporator
This technology can handle a wide
range of different raw materials at
different capacities and flows.
1.200 MT tomatoes
360 MT peaches or apricots
480 MT apples
Close cooperation with CFT
