About Us
About Us
WBT was established in 1988 to process carob, a crop native to the Mediterranean region of Turkey. In 1991, we expanded into processing herbs such as oregano, laurel, rosemary, and sage, which also grow naturally in the area.
By 1993, we had added seeds, including aniseed, cumin seed, and fennel seed, to our product list, all processed in our facility. Most recently, in 2024, we installed a steam distillation machine for essential oil production, further broadening our portfolio.
Since its inception, WBT has been a reliable and leading source for Turkish herbs and spices. Today, we export products to North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Australia. Our dynamic approach, strong relationships, and mutual goals with partners promise even greater success in the future.
Facility
WBT’s production facility spans 5000 square meters (55,530 sq ft) in the industrial zone of Antalya, Turkey. Over the years, we have continuously upgraded our processing equipment to meet customer needs and international standards.
Our three independently operating processing lines include sifters, mills, air tunnels, destoners, gravity tables, drum cleaners, and magnets.
Packing is performed with automatic machines equipped with metal detectors. All operations follow Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
Our facility is also certified to process organic products, ensuring that our organic production is handled with full compliance with international organic standards.
As of 2025, we have installed solar panels that generate more than enough energy for our operations, making our facility run entirely on 100% green energy.
