Eversheds Sutherland has advised Savola Group on its strategic partnership with Tiryaki Agro covering Türkiye and regional markets
February 12, 2026
As part of this complex transaction, Tiryaki Anadolu, a subsidiary of Tiryaki Agro, has acquired 100% of Savola Foods Türkiye, while Savola’s subsidiary, Afia International Company, has acquired a strategic minority stake in the consolidated structure of Tiryaki Anadolu. The transaction represents an important step in aligning Savola’s long term growth strategy with an integrated platform that supports both its market presence in Türkiye and its broader regional ambitions. Through its partnership with Savola, Tiryaki has added Türkiye’s renowned edible oil brands – primarily Yudum – to its portfolio, strengthening its market position in this category.
Commenting on the transaction, Regional Head of M&A Zeid Hanania said:
“We are proud to have supported Savola Group on this important strategic step. Our long standing relationship with Savola has enabled us to work closely with their teams to deliver a transaction that is fully aligned with their vision for sustainable growth in Türkiye and across the wider region. This transaction also reflects our ability to deliver for clients on their most strategically important mandates, navigating complexity to help them achieve their long-term objectives.”
The partnership is expected to enhance supply chain integration, strengthen operational efficiency, and support the continued development of Savola’s well-established brands within a broader regional structure.
The transaction was led by Partner Zeid Hanania, supported by a cross border, multidisciplinary team including Partner Steve Jennings, Principal Associate Rima Mahmoud and Associates Hanan Al Bashir and Faisal Al Shaikh. The Eversheds Sutherland team worked closely with Hergüner Bilgen Üçer Avukatlık Ortaklığı who provided Turkish law advice to Savola Group on the transaction.
