GhalaFresh gathers the frozen food chain at a single center in Mersin-Tarsus OIZ with -18°C frozen storage, IQF quick freezing line, and planned freeze-dry facility.
Established in Mersin-Tarsus OIZ, the facility is designed for heavy tonnage food logistics with its high-ceilinged industrial blocks, wide loading areas, and strong facade.
-18°C frozen warehouses, +4°C cold rooms, shock freezing rooms, and the IQF line are located under the same roof, providing scale and speed advantages in the supply chain.
The freeze-dry block, currently under construction, will be commissioned after 2026 and will provide production power in the freeze-dry segment alongside frozen products.
Freeze-Dry in a Single Center
GhalaFresh is an integrated frozen food facility positioned in Mersin-Tarsus Organized Industrial Zone with the assurance of Polathanlı Group.
The facility is built upon high-volume -18°C frozen storage, +4°C preparation and processing areas, an IQF quick freezing line, and a planned 6,400 m² freeze-dry block.
The goal is to make the chain extending from the field to the port controllable, scalable, and traceable at a single center.
Its proximity to Mersin Port and access to Çukurova production regions accelerates fresh supply. Its location provides rapid access to European, Middle Eastern and Far Eastern markets.
High-capacity ramps, ample truck parking, and infrastructure suitable for smart warehousing ensure seamless and efficient management of shipping and storage processes.
A 6,400 m² freeze-dry area and the 2026 investment phase will strengthen GhalaFresh’s hybrid production capacity, supporting its value-added product goals.
GhalaFresh aims to bring scale, speed, and infrastructure power to the frozen food sector with its modern facility established in the Mersin-Tarsus Organized Industrial Zone. The facility is an integrated structure consisting of -18°C frozen storage, +4°C preparation areas, an IQF quick freezing line, and a large production block dedicated to freeze-dry investment.
The architectural design focuses not only on aesthetics but also on speeding up the operational flow. Wide entrance axes, high ramps, truck parking layout, and loading doors located along the facade are planned to manage high-volume shipments without interruption.
- Strategically located just minutes from Mersin Port and major highways.
- Fast delivery of fresh produce thanks to proximity to fields and production areas.
- Storage, processing, and shipping all under one roof.
- Second phase capacity layer with expandable freeze-dry area.
The total area of 15,500 m² on the upper floor of the facility is planned as -18°C storage areas, +4°C cold rooms, an IQF line, and a processing center. In addition, a 6,400 m² freeze-dry area is under construction.

This capacity structure allows for the management of the entire chain, from raw material acceptance to final product shipment, within a single facility.
The IQF line located in the facility is designed to freeze products individually to achieve export standards in terms of quality, appearance, and fluidity.
The line, which includes pre-washing, sorting, cutting, pre-cooling, and IQF freezing stages, is located in the same block as the frozen storage and shipping departments, ensuring minimum internal logistics costs.
- Individual Quick Freezing (free-flow)
- Belt structure suitable for high capacity
- Infrastructure ready for metal control and optical sorting systems
- Direct access to -18°C warehouses
It is the section where products are processed within a safe temperature range in +4°C cold rooms and preparation areas before becoming IQF and frozen final products.
This area is planned to be suitable for the installation of washing, sorting, calibration, and packaging lines.
- Pre-processing environment within safe temperature range
- Infrastructure suitable for washing and sorting processes
- Layout planned for calibration steps
- Structure suitable for installing packaging lines
A total area of 6,400 m² has been allocated for freeze-dry production, and construction work is ongoing. The machinery and process line investments are planned to be completed by the end of 2026, after which freeze-dry production operations will be gradually commissioned.
- 6,400 m² indoor freeze-dry area
- Production focused on high value-added products
- Supply structure integrated with the frozen product line
- Infrastructure for products with long shelf life and low logistics costs
