Vetaş Plastik

What Vetaş Plastik does

Vetaş Plastik ve Ambalaj San. A.Ş. is a privately held Turkish flexible plastic packaging manufacturer founded in 2001 by founders with packaging-sector experience dating to 1976. Operations are consolidated in two factories on the Gazi Osmanpaşa OSB campus in Çerkezköy, Tekirdağ — VETAŞ 1 (13,000 m² indoor) and VETAŞ 2 (13,500 m² indoor, opened 2022) — combining for 26,500 m² of indoor production space and an annual capacity exceeding 16,000 tons. The product portfolio is organized into six categories spanning the full flexible-packaging value chain: packing products (mailing/courier bags, self-adhesive, zipper, Euroslot, garment and disposable bags, box liners), retail bags (punched-out, patch-reinforced, loop-handle, T-shirt, and rope-duffle), industrial films (stretch wrap, shrink films, wrapping rolls, pallet covers, heavy-duty sacks, layflat tubing, drum/barrel liners, document envelopes, big bag liners, hazard warning tape), food packaging (wicketed bread bags, flat fruit/vegetable bags, dry-food bags), medical and hygiene packaging (medical waste bags, disposable aprons, paper-towel bags, detergent bags), and eco-friendly lines (PCR/PIR recycled products, Braskem's I'm Green sugarcane-based bio-PE, and compostable packaging per EN-13432).

Production technology covers the entire flexible-packaging stack in-house: computer-controlled blown-film extrusion, 8-color flexographic printing (up to 180 cm width, 500 m/min, with real-time camera inspection), lamination, cutting and slitting, and a licensed on-site recycling facility that reprocesses both production scrap and externally sourced post-consumer plastic waste into reusable raw material. An internal R&D and quality control laboratory conducts standardized testing against ASTM and ISO methods (impact, melt flow, heat seal, friction, color/opacity, tear strength, COF, tensile/elongation). Manufacturing is maintained under ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, FSSC 22000, RCS, and a Turkish Environmental Permit covering air, noise, wastewater, and waste management. Since 2022, 100% of production electricity has come from renewables (35% rooftop solar at both plants, 65% I-REC certified), and in 2024 a fleet of six EVs was deployed, covering approximately 58,000 km annually.

The business model is direct B2B custom manufacturing: pricing is quote-based, with customers specifying dimensions, material (LDPE, MDPE, HDPE, PP, OPP, CPP, recycled PE, I'm Green), film color, 1–8-color flexographic printing, quantity, and delivery terms (EXW, FOB, CIF, DAP). The customer base spans retail/e-commerce, industrial manufacturing (aluminum, construction, agriculture), food production, and medical/hygiene sectors, with no named anchor accounts disclosed. Distribution runs directly to customers domestically and via export to 35+ countries (Europe primary). Customer acquisition combines an online quotation-request form, a direct sales team, and participation in international packaging trade fairs (Interpack Düsseldorf, Fachpack, Upakovka Moscow). The company has been recognized by İKMİB with back-to-back "Export Star" awards in 2022 and 2023 and ranked in Turkey's top 5 flexible packaging exporters in those years (up from 9th in 2020 and 36th in 2018).
