Şişecam completes greenfield investment programme as nine-month sales reach TRY 195bn

Şişecam reported net sales of TRY 195bn (USD 3.9bn) for the first nine months of 2026, with international sales at 59% of the total and exports of USD 707m. The glass and soda ash producer invested TRY 17bn (USD 0.34bn) in the period and said it has delivered all greenfield plants in its current investment roadmap: its Tarsus solar glass plant, the Tarsus flat glass line and its coated glass plants in Bulgaria and Italy all reached full capacity utilisation in the third quarter.
