Its 14,000 m² production footprint inside a new 38,000 m² purpose-built facility runs Komori offset presses at 18,000 sheets per hour and processes approximately 500 tons of cardboard per month at a daily capacity of 1 million pieces, with Industry 4.0 RFID tracking across procurement, production, distribution, and sales.

The company operates as a B2B supplier to FMCG brands and food service operators, exporting to more than 50 countries across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and North and Central America. Its go-to-market is event-driven, anchored by participation in Interpack, SIAL, Anuga FoodTech, NRA Show, Hispack, and Packaging Innovations, with a direct sales office in Irvine, California supporting North American accounts. Göncay holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 22000, and BRCGS Packaging Materials (AA-grade traceability) certifications, and operates alongside its parent Göncay Plastik (established 1988) and sister entities Göncay Ambalaj and Göncay Depo within the Göncay group.

Revenue is generated through one-time product sales at quote-based pricing to enterprise buyers, with no software, subscription, or licensing layer. The business is privately held (Göncay Ambalaj San. Tic. Ltd. Şti.), employs 80 people as disclosed on-site, and lists QSR and beverage logos including KFC, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Starbucks, Gloria Jean's, Café Nero, and the parent group's 30+ year relationships with Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and McDonald's as commercial references.
