What we do

From raw protein to a proven ingredient

Sel Sanayi has worked with protein and collagen for more than 60 years. What began in 1961 as a producer of technical gelatine from bovine hides is today a science-led manufacturer of hydrocolloids, collagen, peptides, proteins and bioactive ingredients that are studied in the clinic and supplied to brands around the world.

We control the full chain. We select the raw material, run the hydrolysis and purification, grade each peptide for its target application, and validate the result in peer-reviewed clinical trials. That is why formulators trust our ingredients to behave the same way in the laboratory and in the body.

Our flagship is CollaSel: clinically studied hydrolyzed collagen peptides and lab-verified collagen tripeptides, supplied to brands worldwide. Around it we have built a wider family of peptides, proteins and bioactives for skin, joints, regeneration and metabolic health.

01 / Source and process

Made, not bought

We select bovine, fish and specialty raw materials and run hydrolysis and purification in a facility accredited to the European Union, with full traceability across every batch.

02 / Grade and formulate

Tuned to the target

We control molecular weight and grade each peptide for its application, from skin and joint support to metabolic and regenerative products.

03 / Prove in clinic

Evidence, not claims

We run controlled human studies and laboratory studies, and publish the results in peer-reviewed journals, so our partners can stand behind every benefit they communicate.

Company

An industrial heritage since 1948

Sel Sanayi is a subsidiary of Tezman Holding, a leading Turkish industrial group founded in 1948. From a single product in 1961, Sel Sanayi has grown into a focused producer of hydrocolloids, collagen, peptides, proteins and bioactive ingredients with a global customer base.

Production is accredited to the European Union and carried out in line with European Union food norms. Every operation is traceable through a dedicated control system, so quality is built in at each step rather than checked at the end.
