The story

Apikoğlu was founded in Kayseri in 1910 by ethnic Armenian Krikor Apikoğlu (1878–1945). Apikoğlu moved its base of operations to Istanbul in 1920, opening its production facility in a neighborhood of the Maltepe suburb called İdealtepe. The company's headquarters occupied the lower level of the family's home, limiting their domicile to the upper levels.
