Stahl announced that it has completed the integration of Weilburger Graphics’ packaging coatings operations in Turkey, following the company’s acquisition of Weilburger Graphics in 2024. The Turkish operations will now function as Stahl Kimya, expanding Stahl’s role in the region’s packaging coatings market.

According to the company, the transition strengthens its presence in Turkey and supports local customers with an extended range of coating technologies backed by global expertise. Stahl said the integration is intended to improve technical support, streamline processes and provide a direct route to market for packaging coatings customers.

“Turkey is a strategically important market for Stahl, and the integration of Weilburger Graphics’ activities allows us to serve our local customers with even greater efficiency and innovation,” said Raymond Bakker, business director packaging coatings, EMEA. “By uniting the strengths of both companies, we are creating a stronger organisation committed to supporting the fast-evolving needs of the packaging industry.”

Stahl stated that customers in Turkey will continue to receive uninterrupted support, with Serkan Bekar remaining in the role of sales manager. Effective December 1, all orders related to packaging coatings in Turkey will be processed through Stahl Kimya.

More information about Stahl’s packaging coatings portfolio and global operations is available through the company.
