Polyplex Europa, Turkey

In 2005, Polyplex extended its manufacturing footprint into Turkey, moving closer to the European and Mediterranean markets and firmly establishing Polyplex as a global company. Through its subsidiary Polyplex Europa (PE), a facility was set up in the European Free Zone at Çorlu, Turkey.

PE began with a thin PET film line with a capacity of 29,000 tons per annum and in 2006, a continuous process PET resin plant was added for meeting its captive requirements. Two co-generation power plants of 4 megawatts each were installed to provide greater power security for the facility. In 2008, a second thin PET film line with a capacity of 29,000 tons per annum was commissioned, taking the total capacity to 58,000 tons per annum of base thin PET film.

In September 2013, PE incorporated a 100% owned distribution subsidiary in Turkey by the name of POLYPLEX PAKETLEME ÇÖZÜMLERİ SANAYİ VE TİCARET ANONİM ŞİRKETİ to facilitate better market reach in the local Turkish market.
