The International Packaging Group (IPG) has confirmed the appointment of Dikran Acemyan, Co-Owner and Co-Managing Director of Duran Dogan Packaging in Turkey, as its new Chairman, effective January 2027.
Acemyan (pictured left) has been a member of IPG since 2011 and previously served on its Management Committee. He brings nearly 30 years of experience in the folding carton packaging industry, including involvement in international industry associations.
Between 2004 and 2012, he represented Turkey in the Delegates Assembly of the European Carton Makers Association (ECMA).
In his new role, Acemyan will support cooperation and knowledge sharing among IPG members as the folding carton industry responds to technological developments and changing sustainability requirements.
He succeeds Edward Zumbiel, who is stepping down after a period leading the association. IPG acknowledged Zumbiel’s contribution to strengthening collaboration and relationships across its international membership.
