Toyo Printing Inks, operating under the artience Group in the Manisa Organized Industrial Zone in western Turkey, inaugurated its new production facility built with an investment of $70m. The new factory stands out with its environmentally friendly design, advanced technological infrastructure and sustainable production methods.
The opening ceremony was attended by Mehmet Yılmaz (President of Manisa Chamber of Commerce and Industry), Sait Cemal Türek (President of Manisa Organized Industrial Zone), Kenichi Kasahara (Consul General of Japan in Istanbul), Yakup Benli (CEO and Board Member of Toyo Printing Inks), Satoru Takashima (CEO of artience Group) and Isao Kameoka (Chairman of Toyo Printing Inks), as well as many local and foreign guests.
The new facility, built on a 62,500 sqm area within the Manisa Organized Industrial Zone, will not only increase Toyo Printing Inks’ production capacity but also significantly enhance the company’s innovation capabilities.
Yakup Benli, CEO and Board Member, Toyo Printing Inks, stated that the long-standing relations between Türkiye and Japan have been further strengthened through this investment. “This factory is not just a production facility—it is a symbol of the friendship and cooperation between the two countries. As we leave behind the 100th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Japan and Türkiye, this investment represents a significant step toward carrying these strong ties into the future,” he said.
Benli said, “Thanks to this investment, we will double our production capacity and we aim to manufacture products such as lamination adhesives, which we previously imported, domestically. Our new facility will be a production and export base not only for Turkey but also for neighbouring countries. While our facility, equipped with advanced technology and automation systems, ensures efficiency and energy saving, environmental sustainability is also prioritised.”
