Kütas Group is a Turkish agricultural and food processing conglomerate headquartered in Izmir, Turkey, with over four decades of history in sourcing, processing, and exporting Mediterranean herbs, spices, and related products. Founded with a vision to leverage Turkey's natural agricultural resources, the company has grown to become the leading processor of Mediterranean herbs and a top-tier supplier to global food manufacturers and retailers. The group operates through multiple subsidiaries, including Kütas Tarim Ürünleri Dis Tic. ve San. A.S. (agricultural products and export), Safe Spice Gida Sterilizasyon San. Ve Tic. A.S.
