Toyo Printing Inks, operating under the artience Group in the Manisa Organized Industrial Zone in western Turkey, inaugurated its new production facility built with an investment of $70 million.

The new factory stands out with its environmentally friendly design, advanced technological infrastructure and sustainable production methods.

The new facility, built on a 62,500 square meter area within the Manisa Organized Industrial Zone, will not only increase Toyo Printing Inks’ production capacity but also significantly enhance the company’s innovation capabilities.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Yakup Benli, CEO and board member of Toyo Printing Inks, stated that the long-standing relations between Türkiye and Japan have been further strengthened through this investment.

“This factory is not just a production facility—it is a symbol of the friendship and cooperation between the two countries. As we leave behind the 100th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Japan and Türkiye, this investment represents a significant step toward carrying these strong ties into the future,” he said.

Stating that the new factory will contribute to domestic production while increasing production capacity, Benli said, “Thanks to this investment, we will double our production capacity and we aim to manufacture products such as lamination adhesives, which we previously imported, domestically. Our new facility will be a production and export base not only for Turkey but also for neighboring countries. While our facility, equipped with advanced technology and automation systems, ensures efficiency and energy saving, environmental sustainability is also prioritized.”

Satoru Takashima, CEO of artience Group, stated that the high-quality printing inks and adhesives produced in the new factory are of great importance, especially in the packaging industry.

“Our products are used in many areas in the food packaging and wrapping industries. In this period when the packaging and wrapping industry is growing, we will be able to reach wider markets thanks to Turkey’s strategic location,” Takashima said.

Stating that environmentally friendly and sustainable production methods are also at the forefront in the new factory, Takashima said that advanced technologies such as water-based inks and high-performance inks intended for metal packaging are among the products to be produced in the second phase.

In his speech at the opening ceremony, Isao Kameoka, chairman of the board of Toyo Printing Inks, thanked all the guests who attended the event and expressed his pleasure on behalf of Toyo Printing Inks and artience Group to celebrate the opening of the new factory together with the guests. He also expressed their belief that this investment would not only contribute positively to the operations of their business partners but also the Turkish community.
