Cesur Packaging

What Cesur Packaging does

Cesur Packaging (legal entity Cesur Ambalaj Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş.) is a Turkey-domiciled, family-owned industrial packaging manufacturer founded in 1930, specializing in Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBC bigbags), stretch hood films, and polyethylene liners. The company operates a vertically integrated production platform encompassing PP and PE extrusion, circular and flat weaving, lamination, cutting, sewing, and clean-room assembly, with an in-house testing laboratory and 15 million bigbags of annual capacity across four production facilities in Istanbul, Bilecik, Egypt, and India. Its product range spans standard 4-loop bigbags, cost-optimized 1- and 2-loop variants, antistatic FIBCs (Types A-D per IEC 61340-4-4), UN-certified bags for hazardous goods (ADR-compliant), bitumen-rated bags for hot-fill applications above 110°C, ventilated bags for produce, and a comprehensive liner family including barrier, conductive, gambo, and bottle-type constructions; the patented FitBag design addresses contamination issues inherent to legacy Q-bag and Gambo-bag formats. Stretch hood films, produced via subsidiary Cesur Film, deliver pallet-load protection with claimed up to 80% energy savings versus shrink film.

The company's commercial model is direct sales only, executed through company-owned sales offices in 18+ countries spanning Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, and Asia, with no third-party distributors. Customers are segmented into four primary verticals — chemicals (powdered, granular, and hazardous materials including carbon black, titanium dioxide, and masterbatch), food (sugar, flour, lactose, cocoa, and other dry goods under HACCP/BRCGS protocols), minerals and feed (cement, fertilizers, calcite, fish feed), and pharmaceuticals (APIs, baby formula under clean-room BRCGS-PM standards) — plus an industrial/construction stretch-hood segment. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotations are customized by specification, volume, and delivery terms. Recent strategic emphasis has been on capacity expansion (Bilecik 2023, Egypt 2024), product diversification (Stretch Hood launch 2021), M&A (Technopac Germany 2021), and circular-economy positioning (PCR/PPR products with up to 30% recycled content, Ecovadis and ISO 50001 certifications). The company has been ranked among Turkey's top 1000 exporters and is led by Chairman Mehmet Cesur, CEO Cihan Cesur, and Board Member Cem Cesur, reflecting three generations of family ownership with no disclosed institutional or external shareholders.
