THECA Ambalaj to add two transfer-moulded tray lines in Turkey
THECA Ambalaj, a Turkish packaging company 30% owned by Mercan Kimya, has approved two fully automated transfer-moulded tray (viyol) production lines as the first phase of its 2027-2029 growth plan, to meet rising demand and new product projects. Work on the first line is due to start in November 2026, with commissioning in February 2027. The second line, planned for March to July 2027, depends on a final decision based on capacity utilisation. The investment amount, added capacity and financing were not disclosed.
Why this mattersMaking the second line conditional on utilisation shows THECA adding moulded tray capacity in step with demand rather than ahead of it.
