360 Food Syria 2026: Bastak Takes the Stage in Damascus

Being in the room on day one of a market this significant isn't something Bastak takes lightly.

Bastak Instruments was part of 360 Food Syria 2026, Syria's first-ever international food, beverage, and food-technology exhibition a milestone event positioning the country as an emerging gateway market, bringing together manufacturers, importers, distributors, and investors from across the region under one roof for the first time.

Three moments that captured the experience:

• Our CEO, Zeki Demirtaşoğlu, taking the stage at the 360 Food Summit conference track to talk about raising grain and flour quality standards as emerging markets scale up
• Our team on the exhibition floor, walking visitors through the Bastak booth from the NIR DA 9000 to our grain sampling solutions and showing exactly what modern lab quality control looks like in practice
• Watching a new generation of food and beverage businesses, hoteliers, and producers engage directly with the quality-control technology shaping their next phase of growth

Why this market matters

A first-of-its-kind expo in a market this early in its reopening to international trade is exactly where relationships get built before the rush. For Bastak, that meant introducing 20+ years of precision instrumentation and a track record spanning 50+ countries to buyers and producers who are only just starting to ask what reliable grain and flour quality control can do for their business.

Bastak Builds Relationships That Last

Whether it's an established milling hub or a market taking its first international steps, Bastak shows up the same way: ready to listen, ready to explain, and ready to build something that lasts past the closing day of the expo. Damascus was day one of a relationship we expect to keep building.
