Sebahat was founded by Cavit Sebahat in 1987 at Enschede in the Netherlands, to manufacture various kinds of Turkish Delight and fill a gap in the market with this highly- ap- preciated product. Following Sebahat’s swift success and to meet the constantly growing demand, the firm decided in 1990 to move to Brussels where its expansion was considerably easier, since Brussels was the home of most of the Sebahat family; Mr. Cavit Sebahat wanted his family to share his success, and help make the company grow. To widen the product range, Sebahat also began making halva and flavored instant drinks.
