Milestones of our success
The history of GGM Gastro began in 2004 in Gronau-Epe: the company was initially founded as Bakir & Inan GbR by Ferit Inan and Ömer Elma. The start was marked by entrepreneurial spirit, practical experience and a clear idea: gastronomy businesses require professional equipment that is reliable, available and affordable. From these first steps emerged a company that today grows internationally, actively shapes the industry and builds on a corporate culture of cohesion, responsibility and long-term thinking.
