Story of “Korozo” Brand
The word ‘Korozo’ comes from the seeds of a palm tree grown in the rainforests of South America widely used as the raw material for making buttons. As one of the first industrial companies in the newly-established Turkey, Korozo Düğme Fabrikası Ltd. began mass producing buttons in 1934. In 1973, Korozo was acquired by the Duvenyaz family and began manufacturing flexible packaging at its factory in the Sefaköy district of Istanbul.
