Since 1988
Quality first
Fish Select is built on a trout story that began in Turkey in 1988 and has grown into an integrated aquaculture, processing and export operation. The focus has remained the same: dependable quality, honest trade and careful control at every step.
Our story
Özpekler Limited Şirketi was founded in 1988 in Tekkeköy, Denizli, by Mustafa ÖZPEK, the founder and currently chairman of the board of directors.
Established in 1994 with the aim of responding to increasing market demands during the work process, the second Özpekler trout production farm in Elmalı village of Denizli, Çameli district, has been opened with a reinforced concrete pool system. Yasin and Osman Özpek joined the management of the company in 1995. It has become the symbol of honest and principles-based, moral trade with brothers.
Hatchery facilities under the Yapraklı Dam were established by Özpekler. In this hatchery facility where the young trout is grown in need of farms, 10.000.000 pieces of trout are produced in this hatchery. 400 tons of trout is fed to the market sizes annually in reinforced concrete pools.
After this stage, Trout Smoked, Frozen Trout, Sea Bream and Sea Bass are exported abroad in the advanced processing facilities established in May 2003 in Denizli.
Farms consisting of two separate sections with a capacity of 1000 tons / year were put into service in the village of Karaçam, in the Muğla Köyceğiz district.
He founded 7 farms of his own in Floating cages with a capacity of 1,100 tons / year in Gökgöl village of Denizli Çivril district.
It continued its investments in 2010 and established its facilities in order to produce 600 Ton / year Sea Bream and Sea Bass off the Bodrum Güllük Yılanadası. As a Processing Facility, it has certified its production with BRC, IFS, IBAN, HACCP, TSE certificates with quality certificates.
With the projects we have prepared for capacity increase within the scope of the Rural Development and Support Project, we have successfully implemented their projects by purchasing 2 cold room units, 1 bream inlet and 1 trout inlet (fillet) machines.
Özpekler opened its first feed factory, strengthening control over the full production chain and securing consistent feed quality for its trout farming operations.
Driven by continued growth, Özpekler opened a second feed factory in 2023. Today, the company is recognised as an established player in this segment, supporting quality and continuity across its integrated chain.
After more than 25 years of cooperation between Henk van de Berg and Mustafa ÖZPEK, the partnership enters a new phase with the handover to the next generation. Today, the third generation is also active in the family business, continuing the values of trust, continuity and long-term collaboration.
