Vision

To be a trusted partner creating end-to-end value from paper to packaging through sustainable and innovative production.

Mission

To develop solutions that strengthen our customers’ competitiveness through quality, efficiency and environmental responsibility.

Values

Trust and transparency, sustainability, continuous improvement, customer focus and team spirit.

  • Raw material independence with paper production in Konya / Ereğli
  • Regional delivery advantage with offset packaging in Tire, Gaziantep and Karaman
  • Quality, sustainability and information security policies managed from a single centre
  • Real-time tracking of production, quality and logistics with ERP and automation

Response and delivery within 24 hours

Thanks to our three offset plants in Tire, Gaziantep and Karaman, we can respond to customer requests and deliver within 24 hours.

Plants that back each other up

The machinery and raw material pool of the three plants are synchronised. In the event of a regional disruption, our production planning system shifts orders seamlessly to the other plants.

Young machinery

The average age of machines on the production line is 5 years; high efficiency and low waste.
