(operating as Polifilm Flexible Films) is a Turkish manufacturer of polyethylene (PE)-based flexible packaging films, established in 2010 as an affiliate of Sekuro Plastik Ambalaj Sanayi A.Ş., which has been in polymer film extrusion since 1997. The company produces three core product lines — food packaging lamination films, industrial non-food films, and sustainability/circular-economy films (including MDO PE, MDO-EVOH barrier, biodegradable, and ISCC PLUS certified films) — at a single manufacturing facility in the Bozüyük Organized Industrial Zone, Bilecik, supported by an in-house R&D department (since 2010) and a conditioned clean-air production environment with European-origin quality testing equipment. Its commercial activity is B2B direct sales to food packaging converters, industrial manufacturers (cable, textile, medical, surface protection), and sustainability-focused brand owners, served from a head office in Kavacık-Beykoz, Istanbul, and the Bilecik factory, with exports initiated in 2015 and expanded regionally from 2019 under the PFL Flexible Films and PFL-rCycle sub-brands. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales on a quote-based pricing model with no public price disclosure, supplemented by association-driven marketing (FASD, İMMİB) and a content/blog channel; the company reports a 100% increase in domestic and international sales in 2016, a 51-100 employee base, and a comprehensive certification stack (BRC AA, ISO 9001/14001/45001/50001, ISCC PLUS) that positions it for global food-brand supply chains. The business is privately held by the Çil family, with M. Hakan Çil serving as Chairman and General Manager of both Polifilm and Sekuro, indicating concentrated family control and continuity.
