Origin

CEYLAN has its roots in the food business

It all started with our own snack bar. Daily work created the need for a better electric Döner knife. From the very beginning, the focus was on electric Döner knives, developed in Essen, Germany. In 1994, HERAN became the first device on the market; the company was founded in 1995.

Engineering

From the motor to the blade

A machine does not come from a single part. Only the interplay of the assemblies produces a device that can hold up in continuous operation.

At CEYLAN, product development begins with the application: requirements from everyday gastronomy are analysed, technical solutions are developed and products are advanced along the way they are actually used.
