Remzi Kaplan wants to become king of the Polish kebab market

Remzi Kaplan, the leading kebab supplier on the German market, plans to build a meat processing plant in Poland and develop its franchise network here. The Turkish company already has several outlets in northern Poland, namely in Rewal, Pobierów and Dziwnówek, which are currently supplied by its Berlin meat plant. However, this is set to change, as the company is looking to build a plant near Szczecin, which will employ almost 100 people. "Our Berlin plant sells five tons of meat a day to 120 kebab bars. We want our Szczecin facility to produce 3-4 tones of ready-made meat a day," says Jacek Schaffer, president of Kaplan Polska, a company founded in May of this year. Aside from processing and selling meat to bars, Kaplan is looking to develop its own network of outlets, as well as develop a network of Kaplan-logo franchise outlets. (Puls Biznesu, p. 6) T.J.
