Si Ko LTD

Pure Sunbeams, Pasteurized Perfection.

My name is Galina Dimitrova. My parents and I founded Si Ko in 1996, and today I lead the company as CEO. We supply granola, pasta, bakery and cereal-snack producers who need consistent quality and on-time deliveries of conventional and organic sunflower kernels, with predictable prices even on one-year contracts.
What sets us apart from other suppliers of ready-to-eat sunflower kernels is that we produce them ourselves, in our own silos and lines in Dolna Mitropolia. This lets us guarantee quality, deliver on time and keep prices predictable.
With 30 years of experience as a producer and our own pasteurization process, we offer an alternative to organic sunflower kernels that saves at least 15%.
This helps our clients plan their costs and keep their lines running.
