The March 2026 issue of PLASFED Magazine, the corporate publication of the Plastics Industrialists Federation, has met its readers. In the new issue of our magazine, which is one of the important reference sources for the industry and the business world, there is a wide range of content extending from production to fashion, law to sustainability, and global trade.
In this issue, we have dedicated our cover story to our female industrialists on the occasion of International Women's Day, in line with our traditional approach. The views, experiences, and inspiring stories of female entrepreneurs who contribute to the development of our industry meet readers in this file.
Our March issue also features comprehensive interviews with prominent names from different fields of the business world. In our interview with the President of the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey, Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu, we discussed the transformation process of the Turkish economy, the future of production and exports, and the position of the business world in the global competitive environment. In our interview with the Chairman of the Board of Orka Holding, Süleyman Orakçıoğlu, we talked about the global success achieved in menswear with the Damat and Tween brands, his approach to fashion as a strategic value chain, and the dynamics of sustainable brand building.
In this period, when technical competence and regulatory compliance have become decisive in the export journey of the chemical and plastics industry, we evaluated the strategic transformation of the sector with the Chairman of the Board of IKMIB, Adil Pelister. We comprehensively discussed how the analysis, reporting, and technical guidance capabilities offered by KATIM provide a competitive advantage to companies.
One of the authentic examples of the industrial journey is featured in our interview with the Chairman of the Board of METPLAS, Arif İzzet İlter. We heard from him how the passion for production that started in Nevşehir grew with engineering discipline and a global brand vision.
In our law corner, we discussed the relationship between the business world and law with Hüseyin Avni Durmuşoğlu. In our sectoral perspective section, Pelin Karadeniz Kış, Vice Chairman of the Board of Mete Plastik, evaluates the global risks and new market opportunities awaiting the plastics sector in 2026. In our sustainability file, Gülberk Ertap Kaya discusses how sustainability reporting has turned into a strategic governance tool for companies in line with increasing global regulations and European Union standards.
Published quarterly, PLASFED Magazine continues to be an important reference source for plastics industrialists with our federation's activities, industry news, research files, and interviews. It also offers its readers a broad perspective with content in different fields such as technology, hobbies, health, and travel.
Happy reading….
