This is a story of progress...
Founded in 1935 by İş Bankası under the visionary leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, Şişecam was established to build Turkey’s glass industry. Over the decades, we have evolved into a global player in glass and chemicals.
From our origins as a local initiative, we have grown into a trusted and leading player in all core areas of glass production and chemicals. Today, we are the global leader in glassware, among the top five producers in flat glass and glass packaging, and among the top three producers in soda ash worldwide. In chromium chemicals, we are the world leader.
Operating across 13 countries on four continents- including Turkey, Italy, Bulgaria, Romania,Ukraine Slovakia, Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Russia, Georgia, Egypt, India, and the United States- we take pride in our wide global footprint. We play a pioneering role in flat glass, glassware, glass packaging, chemicals, automotive, glass fiber, mining, energy, and recycling industries.
We are steadily progressing toward our goal of being among the top three global producers in our core industries, differentiating by our smart people and technologies. Supported by 90 years of expertise, over 23,000 employees, and a sales network connecting 150 countries, we are committed to driving inclusive and sustainable growth.
Through our CareForNext strategy, we align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to protect the planet, empower communities, and lead transformative change. Our journey of progress is defined by a commitment to innovation, sustainability, and progress.
