Gediz Ambalaj

What Gediz Ambalaj does

Gediz Ambalaj Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. is a Turkish public manufacturer founded in 1982 in Gediz, Kütahya, and listed on Borsa Istanbul under the ticker GEDZA since 2014. The company operates what it describes as Turkey's first and only "Kapalı PP Oluklu Levha" (Closed Polypropylene Corrugated Sheet) factory, running 11 production lines plus sheet-forming units and a recycling facility. It is positioned by management as one of Europe's and the world's largest producers of PP corrugated sheet.

The core product — extruded closed-cell polypropylene corrugated sheet — is converted into a broad portfolio of application-specific SKUs: LayerPad separators for glass packaging, refrigerator back panels and ESD-compliant products for white goods, protective coverings for ~10-ton steel coils, foldable plastic pallets and logistics containers, automotive insulation and parts, stationery, archive and recycling boxes, agricultural covers (greenhouse, seedling, beehive), construction/insulation panels, and advertising signage. Production is governed by ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004, and ISO 22000:2005 (HACCP) certifications, and a wholly-owned subsidiary (Gediz Plastik A.Ş., established 2006) operates a licensed recycling facility inside the Gediz Organized Industrial Zone.

Commercially, the firm sells direct to enterprise OEMs in a B2B field-sales model, with named anchor customers spanning the Turkish white-goods industry (Arçelik, Beko, Vestel, Uğur), glass packaging (Şişecam, Lav), and steel (Erdemir). Revenue is generated through hardware sales of PP sheets and finished derivative products; pricing is not publicly disclosed. 2019 consolidated revenue was 75 million TL, with 63 million TL booked in the first nine months of 2020, and the issued capital stands at 46,656,000 TL against a registered ceiling of 105,000,000 TL. Largest shareholder is Gediz Madencilik A.Ş. with 39.34% of capital and 39.79% of voting rights.

Broad incumbents

• Sealed Air: Sealed Air is a global protective packaging company offering a broad portfolio including foam, films, and corrugated plastic solutions. It competes with Gediz in protective packaging for white goods, glass, and steel industries, though at a much larger scale and broader product range.
• DS Smith: DS Smith is a global packaging giant offering corrugated and plastic packaging solutions across multiple industries. While primarily a paper-based packaging player, it competes with Gediz in industrial packaging and protective packaging segments for customers like Arçelik and Vestel.
• Simona AG: Simona AG is a German manufacturer of thermoplastic sheets (PP, PE, PVC, PVDF) serving industrial, chemical, and construction markets. While broader than Gediz's PP corrugated focus, it overlaps in PP sheet production and competes for industrial plastics customers in Europe.
• Brett Martin: Brett Martin is a UK-based manufacturer of plastic sheets (polycarbonate, PP, PVC) for construction, signage, and industrial applications. Its PP sheet products overlap with Gediz's offering, particularly in signage/stand and construction insulation segments.

Direct peers

• Inteplast Group: Inteplast is a major North American producer of PP corrugated sheets and films under its Inteplast Engineered Films division. It directly competes with Gediz in industrial PP sheet production for packaging, signage, and protective applications, serving similar B2B customer segments.
• Distriplast: Distriplast is a Belgian-based PP corrugated sheet manufacturer serving European industrial markets. It is a direct peer in product (PP corrugated sheets), geography (European), and customer base (industrial packaging converters and end users).
• Coroplast Group: Coroplast Group is the world's largest manufacturer of PP corrugated sheets, headquartered in Germany. It is the most direct competitor to Gediz Ambalaj, operating in the same core product category with similar technology, customer base (industrial packaging, automotive, construction), and business model.

Emerging players

• Ondaplast: Ondaplast is a Brazilian PP corrugated sheet producer with regional leadership in South America. While not directly competing in Turkey, it is a meaningful peer in the same product category with similar B2B industrial applications and would represent comparable competition if Gediz expanded internationally.
