Talking Turkey.
by Penhallow, John
Long considered an economic backwater in the label business, Turkey
is emerging as a major player with several world class converters, as
well as BOPP film manufacturer Polinas, now in the top rank of European
producers. The active Turkish Label Association is headed by the
appropriately named Mr. Okay, who is also a member of the board of
international label association FINAT.
Recognizing the importance of the Turkish label market, Avery
Dennison has just opened a slitting and distribution center in
Turkey's main city, Istanbul. This center joins the Avery/Fasson
centers in the Czech Republic, Austria and Poland (plus a further three
in Russia) in providing service to converters in Central, Eastern and
Southeastern Europe.
