Food packaging company Sirane has opened a manufacturing facility in Turkey.About 10 years after opening its facility in Telford,UK,the company opened a second operation in Antalya,a port city in Turkey.
Sirane managing director Simon Balderson said that Turkey has a large population and a large food industry and so it is the perfect location for Sirane to open a new base.
The new location will help Sirane push into Turkey,the Middle East,North Africa and north into Russia and Ukraine."Some of our key markets-meat,fruit and vegetables-are also key markets in Turkey,with vast quantities of food being produced and shipped around the region,"Balderson added.
The company noted that the recent innovations,such as its shelf-life extending bags and films,absorbent fruit pads and odour absorbing meat pads,are ideal for this region.
"But we're also looking to introduce other innovations,such as our range of cooking bags,to a whole new market.We're very excited about the possibilities in the region,"Balderson said.
