SCHOTT achieved a further milestone in expanding its flat glass business by inaugurating a new and state-of-the art production plant in Bolu, Turkey. From both company sites in Turkey, Bolu and Çerkezköy, SCHOTT's value-added glass solutions for the home appliance industry reach millions of households worldwide. The processed flat glass is exported to 14 countries, mainly in Western and Central Europe.
"Today marks an essential cornerstone in the growth strategy of our worldwide flat glass business. We invested €9 million in the latest production technology and will be able to increase capacities at the Bolu site by 50 percent. Furthermore, this project will create new jobs," said Dr. Heinz Kaiser, member of the SCHOTT Management Board.
SCHOTT has always focused on profitable growth in Turkey, the strongest location for its flat glass products, and invested almost €15 million here in the past five years.
"We can envision continuing this Turkish success story by making further possible investments," Dr. Kaiser says. SCHOTT has been present in Turkey since 1988 and currently has approximately700 employees at its two sites in Çerkezköy and Bolu. Aside from primarily investing in flat glass divisions in Europe, additional investments are being allocated toward growth in Asia and South America.
