2021 Nonwovens Sales: $451 million
Key Personnel
Mehmet Kuyucu, general manager, nonwovens and films
Plants
Gaziantep, Turkey; Cairo, Egypt
Processes
Spunbond and meltblown
Sales continue to climb at Turkey’s Gulsan Group. The company reported sales of $451 million compared to $444 million the prior year.
Growth is expected to continue thanks to new investments including a second line in Turkey and a second line at its site near Cairo, Egypt. Both lines were announced in October 2020 with an estimated start up sometime in 2022. Currently, the company is unable to provide an update on their progress.
Gulsan has not released capacity details for the new lines but reports the investments will support its future growth in the industry and reinforce its position as one of the leading manufacturers of spunmelt materials to supply top quality, ultra-lightweight, diversified nonwovens with highly sophisticated and state-of-art technologies to its business partners for baby diapers as well as medical and health products in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) region.
Gulsan already makes 160,000 tons of spunmelt nonwovens–including 120,000 tons in Turkey and 40,000 tons in Egypt. Its most recent investments, a 35,000 Reicofil 5 spunmelt line, announced in 2017, came onstream in early 2020 in Corlu, Turkey, and a 3.2 meter meltblown line, the company’s first investment in this technology, in Gaziantep, Turkey.
