What Eczacıbaşı Tüketim Ürünleri does

Eczacıbaşı Tüketim Ürünleri, now operating as Sanipak Sağlıklı Yaşam Ürünleri, is a Turkish consumer goods manufacturer wholly owned by the Eczacıbaşı Group conglomerate. The company was established around 1970 and is headquartered in Istanbul, with a portfolio spanning tissue and paper products (Selpak, Solo, Selin, Ok, Selpak-pro), baby care (Uni-baby), feminine care (Silen), personal care (Egos, Detan, Defans, John Freida), and home care (Frosch, Servis, Premax, Unimed). It operates five production facilities, employs over 2,000 people, and states that its leading brands reach 8 out of 10 Turkish households while exporting to more than 60 countries.

The business model is mass-market B2C retail distribution across Turkey through modern trade (supermarkets and hypermarkets), traditional trade (independent grocery), e-commerce platforms, and a professional/out-of-home channel (Selpak-pro). Revenue is generated through unit sales of fast-moving consumer goods; pricing is not publicly disclosed and follows standard FMCG retail mechanics. Marketing is centred on brand-building across owned brand sites, organic social media, and sustainability communications, with one disclosed AI application used to measure Selpak's social media campaign performance.

Strategically, the company rebranded from Eczacıbaşı Tüketim Ürünleri to Sanipak in January 2025 to support a stated globalisation and sustainability strategy, and in March 2026 agreed to sell its flagship Selpak and Solo tissue brands to Arch Peninsula for $600 million — a transaction that materially reshapes the future portfolio toward baby care, personal care, home care, and professional hygiene brands.

Direct peers

• Essity: Swedish global leader in tissue (Tork, Tempo, Lotus) and personal care (Libresse, Libero). Closely comparable on hygiene/tissue product portfolio and professional (Tork) channel; competes with Sanipak's Selpak-pro in commercial hygiene.
• Sofidel: Italian tissue manufacturer with strong European private-label and branded presence (Regina, Nicky). Comparable on tissue manufacturing scale, raw material exposure, and European export markets where Sanipak also sells.
• Hayat Kimya: Turkey's largest competitor in tissue, personal care, and baby care (Molfix diapers, Papia tissue, Bingo cleaning). Headquartered in Turkey with extensive Middle East and Africa presence, it competes head-to-head with Sanipak in essentially every category where Sanipak operates.
• Ontex Group: European personal hygiene manufacturer specializing in baby care (Baby Charm), feminine care, and adult incontinence. Direct competitor in Sanipak's Uni-baby and Silen categories with similar mid-market positioning.

Broad incumbents

• Kimberly-Clark: Global tissue (Kleenex, Scott) and personal care (Huggies, Kotex) incumbent with established brands and R&D depth. Comparable on tissue manufacturing and category breadth; competes internationally where Sanipak exports but operates at much greater scale.
• Procter & Gamble: Global consumer goods incumbent across tissue (Charmin), baby care (Pampers), personal care, and home care. Competes broadly with all of Sanipak's remaining post-divestiture categories; vastly larger but defines the competitive landscape.
• SCA (Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget): Swedish forest products group with significant tissue and personal care operations (Libero, Libresse, Tena). Comparable on integrated pulp-to-product tissue manufacturing and global hygiene brand portfolio.
• Unilever: Multinational CPG leader with personal care (Dove, Rexona), home care (Domestos, Cif), and fabric care brands. Overlaps with Sanipak's Detan (deodorants), Egos, and Frosch (eco-cleaning) categories, particularly in Turkey and MENA.
• Henkel: German multinational strong in laundry & home care (Persil, Vernel) and adhesives. Comparable on home care and cleaning compound manufacturing where Sanipak operates Frosch, Premax, and Servis brands.

Regional players

• WEPA Industrieholding: German family-owned tissue manufacturer serving European private-label and branded markets. Comparable mid-sized tissue producer with similar multi-country manufacturing footprint and B2B/B2C mix.
