He emphasized that the company is moving forward with the vision of transforming its image from a traditional canned food brand into a comprehensive food brand through modern and innovative products. Highlighting the rapid transformation of consumer expectations, Veysel Memiş said:
“Today, competition in the ready-food category is shaped by content quality, production approach, and the values represented by the brand. As Tat Gıda, we aim to be a pioneer of this transformation. In this context, the Tat Olive Oil Stuffed Vine Leaves and Stuffed Vine Leaves with Sour Cherries we added to our portfolio are not only new products, but also represent a claim for conceptual clarity within the category.”

Emphasizing that manual craftsmanship is highlighted throughout the production process of Tat Olive Oil Stuffed Vine Leaves, Veysel Memiş stated that the products are individually hand-rolled by female employees. He added that this production model supports women’s employment and concretely demonstrates the value given to women’s labor and their role in production.
Pointing out that this model strengthens the company’s social responsibility approach, Veysel Memiş commented:
