“We will continue to strengthen our economy through our strong global presence”
Vice President of the Board, Esin Güral Argat, shared her thoughts on the award, stating:
"Thanks to our innovative production capabilities, sustainability approach, and investments in technology, we maintain a strong position in global markets. With GCA in glass packaging and LAV in tableware, we have an extensive international export network. Our sales network, which reaches more than 140 countries, distinguishes itself through a sustainable and innovative production model. Our LAV brand, with two facilities in Kütahya, produces over 2 million items daily and ranks as the world’s 5th largest tableware glass producer. What’s more, this production takes place in facilities that consume the least amount of energy and water globally within the industry. Our glass packaging brand GCA has increased its use of recycled glass to 22%, far surpassing the national average of around 8%. We also continue to invest in energy efficiency and emission reduction in line with our sustainability goals. This award is the result of a structure that respects the environment, invests in technology, and contributes to the Turkish economy through its export strength. I congratulate all our colleagues whose hard work and belief in our vision have made this success possible. With our sustainable production approach and talented workforce, we will continue to contribute to our country’s economy."
