	About KOOP

KOOP, as it is locally known, was founded by 21 farmers in a village near Nicosia in 1958 under the name of “Dairy Products Company'. In 1962, the land of the current milk factory in Nicosia was purchased with a loan received from the Cooperative Central Bank for the construction of the original factory. During the first years, the Dairy Products Company operated between January and May only, using only sheep milk. In 1968, the company was purchased by the Cooperative Central Bank and subsequently expanded and improved its operations under the name “KOOP SUT” (COOP DAIRY)

Since 1970, KOOP has increased capacity and expanded its product range with regular capital investments. The company pays increasing attention to quality, hygiene, and production standards, and strives to improve its technologies continuously.

At the beginning of 2006, KOOP added a new dimension to its product portfolio with the addition of sunflower oil production.

Koopsut increased its capacity and product portfolio by making planned investments since 1970, and is continually growing. Where it was continually deteriorating because of unplanned operations until 1970, the company increased its raw milk capacity to 10 tons/day by making informed investments after 1970. This capacity can grow up to 70-80 tons per day in weekends and national holidays. In mid 70s because there were no other diary products processing company so Koopsut assumed this responsibility.

While in the beginning processed raw milk was 70% of all milk in the country, this declined to 35% even when Koopsut increased its total raw milk processing because the produced milk in the country increased and also other producers increased in number.
