Turkey’s packaging sector continues to expand, shaped by growth in domestic consumption, tightening regulatory frameworks in the pharmaceutical and food industries, and increasing cosmetics exports to European and Middle Eastern markets. Manufacturers operating in this space face mounting pressure to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and maintain consistent quality at scale, challenges that the Komori GL-640 advance is designed to address.
Bay Matbaa, a Turkish specialist in folding carton production for the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries, has selected the Komori GL-640 advance as its latest investment.
Bay Matbaa has established itself as a trusted supplier of high-quality packaging solutions to brands across three demanding sectors. The addition of GL-640 advance to its production facility represents a deliberate step forward, one driven by rising client expectations and the need for greater output consistency across complex, regulated packaging categories.
Ahmet Baydemir, owner and CEO of Bay Matbaa, commented on the decision, ‘Packaging in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical segments leaves no room for compromise. We needed a machine that would match our standards and support our ambitions. The GL-640 advance was the clear choice: it delivers the precision, uptime, and flexibility our operation demands.’
The combination of consistent print quality, high productivity, and operational reliability makes the GL-640 advance particularly well suited to environments where regulatory compliance and brand accuracy are essential, as is the case in pharmaceutical and cosmetics packaging.
The investment was supported by Aras Grup. Hamdi Kaymak, Managing Director at Aras Grup, reflected on the process, ‘From the outset, it was clear that Bay Matbaa had a precise understanding of what they required. Matching that profile to the capabilities of the GL-640 advance was straightforward. We are confident this installation will deliver measurable results from day one.’
With this installation, Bay Matbaa strengthens its capacity to handle increased volumes and more complex specifications, while maintaining the quality standards that define its market position. For Komori, the partnership reflects the broader confidence that Turkish packaging professionals are placing in industry-leading print technology.
