The brand name Pakmaya became synonymous with industrial yeast, which in turn revolutionized the way bakeries made bread. To meet the ever-increasing demand, a second production plant was built at Izmir -Kemalpasa in 1986 followed by a third at Duzce - Cumayeri in 1990. A fourth baker’s yeast production plant was established in Romania - Pascani in 1998 to serve the East European market.
