The Power of Turkish Industry in the Global Race: The Plastics Sector
Mehmet Fatih KACIR
Minister of Industry and Technology of the Republic of Turkey
I sincerely congratulate PLASFED Magazine on reaching its 50th issue, having documented the sector's collective intelligence, accumulated knowledge, and vision with a high-quality publishing approach since 2012, and I commend the editorial team, writers, and all stakeholders who contributed to this valuable work.
Our plastics industry is one of the main supporting pillars of our manufacturing industry, producing high added value across a wide range from automotive to defense, from white goods to packaging and medical device technologies. Strengthening our country's production and export potential, our sector consolidates its competitive power on a global scale day by day with its R&D capacity, dynamic entrepreneurial spirit, and strong supply chain structure.
As the Ministry of Industry and Technology, in line with our National Technology Move vision announced under the leadership of our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, we aim for Turkish industry to assume a leading role in the global race.
I wholeheartedly believe that with its developing infrastructure, industrial platforms, and trained human resources, the Turkish plastics sector will continue to exponentially increase its contribution to our country's sustainable development goals, export breakthroughs, and journey of leadership in global value chains.
With these sentiments, on the occasion of its 50th special issue—an important milestone in its publication life—I once again congratulate PLASFED Magazine and its team, and wish success to all our industrialists, researchers, and employees who contribute to the Turkish plastics industry, produce, provide employment, and add value to your goals for the Century of Turkey.
