The stroy of Gün-Tav started in 1973 behind the little pick-up of Lütfi Başoflaz, who is retired as a vet noncommissioned officer. Entrepreneurial spirit and determination for working can be seen in the background of the story of Gün-Tav.


In the begining of 1970s, Başoflaz can not stop working and goes to a small shop in İstanbul. Considering the first lights of the day as the begining of work, Başoflaz gives a very meaningful name to his little shop: Güneş Tavukçuluk (Sun Chickens)…


He starts to sell the materials he produces behind his pick-up to the people, who feed poultry with low quality materials. Working for making investment to the future, the veteran founder may have started the first professional feeding systems in this country. The process continued until the begining of 1980s, but was interrupted by Başoflaz’s health problems for 5 years. Even though the shop was closed during these years, Gün-Tav’s all rights were preserved until someone came to take over the work. So that the trust and the respect of the market wouldn’t be lost.

With Ahmet Eyvazoğlu, who left his teaching profession in 1987, the company’s closed-doors are re-opened and the second period begins. Parallel to the economic progress in the country, Gün-Tav’s new vision is determined with manufacturer’s and production’s encouragement.


Stopping to sell materials to people one by one, in a sense, stopping boutique production and instead of that with serious investments being able to build the infrastructure that can fill giant service areas and also starting corporate marketing to find a good place in foreign markets…
