SUCCESS STORY CROWNED WITH THE 50TH SPECIAL ISSUE
Prof. Dr. Ömer BOLAT
Minister of Trade of the Republic of Turkey
PLASFED Magazine makes valuable contributions to the development of our industry as an important publication that has been conveying the achievements, transformation, and future vision of the Turkish plastics industry to the public for many years. At the root of the strong production and export story reflected on its pages lies the success of our country, which ranks second in Europe and sixth in the world in plastic product manufacturing, with approximately 11 billion dollars in exports and an annual production capacity exceeding 10 million tons.
As the Ministry of Trade, we consider it among our strategic priorities to support our industry—which strengthens its position in global markets day by day with its strong production infrastructure and entrepreneurial industrialists—with policies that will increase its international competitiveness by supporting the development of sustainable, recyclable, and value-added products, and accelerating green transformation and digitalization processes, in line with the Turkey Century vision of our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
We welcome PLASFED Magazine crowning this meaningful success with its 50th special issue, and I wholeheartedly congratulate the PLASFED management, the editorial team, and all contributing stakeholders. I believe that the magazine will continue to be an important platform in its future publication life that guides the industry's development, brings innovative perspectives to the public, and contributes to our country's production and export targets.
I wish that the 50th special issue will be beneficial for our industry, and I congratulate all our industrialists, employees, and industry representatives who contribute to the success story of the Turkish plastics industry, wishing them continued success in their work.
