Iran Zak Company | A Pioneer in the Production of Chewing Gum and Chocolate Smarties with Over 50 Years of Experience
With over half a century of experience, Iran Zak is one of the leading and most reputable brands in Iran’s chewing gum and chocolate confectionery industry. The company began its operations in 1972 in the Alborz Industrial City, located in Qazvin Province. Leveraging the legacy and expertise of well-known brands such as Khoros Neshan and Minoo, and utilizing advanced equipment, Iran Zak has played a key role in the advancement of the chewing gum industry in Iran.
The name “Iran Zak” is derived from a combination of the word Iran and the surnames of the company’s three founding investors — a name built on authenticity, commitment, and innovation.
From “Mikhak” Gum to the Oina Brand
Iran Zak’s first product was Mikhak chewing gum, launched with the slogan “Healthy Teeth and Relief from Toothache,” which quickly gained popularity among consumers. This was followed by the birth of the Oina brand — a name rooted in the Azeri language meaning “joy.”
The Oina brand includes a wide variety of chewing gums and diverse products, now available not only in the domestic market but also internationally.
Innovation and Sustainable Growth Through Diverse Chewing Gums
In 2003, Iran Zak adopted a new approach to product engineering, incorporating modern technologies and upgrading its production machinery. A major turning point was the introduction of sugar-free and sugared chewing gums in 2006, positioning Iran Zak as a pioneering producer in this segment.
Expanding Product Range with Chocolate Smarties
As part of its development journey, Iran Zak also entered the chocolate confectionery market. These high-quality, flavorful products quickly gained popularity and established a strong presence in the sweets and chocolate sector.
Our Core Values: Quality, Health, Innovation
Throughout the years, Iran Zak has remained committed to customer satisfaction, community health, and the production of high-quality products. The company attributes its success to the collective efforts of its large and dedicated team — composed of skilled, hardworking, and creative professionals.
Local technical expertise, advanced equipment, fully equipped laboratories, and partnerships with reputable suppliers are among Iran Zak’s key competitive advantages in the Iranian and regional markets.
