Tiginn produces premium dragees, pralines, napolitains and bars to the standard set by Swiss and Belgian makers, from Türkiye, with flexible MOQs and fast delivery to Europe and the Gulf.
Same product types. Different sourcing economics.
Switzerland and Belgium set the benchmark for chocolate. Many retail chains, importers and gifting companies searching for Swiss chocolate manufacturers or Belgian chocolate manufacturers also need private label flexibility, competitive cost and short lead times. That is where a Turkish producer fits.
- Real cocoa-butter recipes for premium lines, compound for value lines.
- Turkish hazelnuts at the source for pralines, bars and dragees.
- Coloured, marbled dragees with freeze-dried fruit, caramel and nut centres.
- Private label from one production run per SKU, Tiginn range from one pallet.
- 4–7 days by road to most EU countries; offices in NL, PL and KO.
