In 1980, due to the decrease in cotton areas and the increase in corn areas in Cukurova region, the demand for plant which woud processes corn increased rapidly. In that time, Mr. Nuri Çomu, Agricultural Engineer and businessman, interested in corn process and its derivatives; hence he did feasibility to build a new plant.
At that time, starch was imported from foreign countries, it means that the demands and needs for quality starch could not be satisfactory in Turkey.

Taking the regional requirements and feasibility into the consideration , investment was made to produce starch and corn syrups by Comu in 1985.

The company, named Sunar Mısır , was built in 1986 with the corn milling capasity of 50 tons / day; glucose production also began in the same year with starch and dextrin production. In years, by increasing in capasity, quality and technology, Sunar Mısır continued to stable development; in 1990, corn oil production; in 1992, modified starch (for paper and textile industry ) and finally in 2002, iso-glucose production were begun to be an integrated plant.

Up to now, Sunar Mısır, always struggles to go further in know-how and knowledge to produce high quality products by regarding costumers’ demands.
