Kopuzmar focuses on margins to ensure its sustainability
High quality boutique production Kopuzmar offers a range of fresh and frozen products based on seabass, seabream, trout, and meagre. These include natural items, such as whole round fish, gutted fish, and fillets, as well as ready-to-cook products that combine fish with other ingredients to give a complete meal.

opuzmar went through a change in ownership in June 2013, when the original owners, after a long period of negotiation, sold their share to a private equity firm resulting in a new board of directors and an adjustment in strategy for the company. Ismail Aksoy, the marketing and sales director, says that one of the impacts
of the new ownership has been a substantial increase in sales capacity. The new owners have invested in the company giving it a solid financial foundation and bringing in more professional managers with the result that there are now over 300 people employed. The new board is also playing an active role in the company shifting its focus
from the domestic market to concentrate more on exports. The vision for the company has changed to one that is more global. We are now looking at exports of 90-95, says Mr Aksoy, as opposed to a ratio of 30 sales on the domestic market as we had in the past, and the products we focus on are value-added items.
