MARMARA PET LEVHA PLASTİK SAN. VE TİC. A.Ş.

What MARMARA PET LEVHA PLASTİK SAN. VE TİC. A.Ş. does

Marmara Pet Levha Plastik San. ve Tic. A.Ş. is a Turkish private manufacturer of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) foil and sheet for food packaging applications, founded in 2011 in Istanbul's Esenyurt district and operating a second facility in Ergene, Tekirdağ. The company runs a vertically integrated production model that begins with post-consumer PET bottle collection and Sesotec/Bühler flake processing (18,000 tons/year capacity), continues through Starlinger/Viscotec decontamination and Bandera extrusion (24,000 tons/year foil capacity), and outputs food-contact certified PET sheet in eight variants — standard PET, Anti-Fog, Hot Fill (75-80°C), Deep Freeze (-30°C), PET/PE barrier, Bio PET, Antistatic, and cup bottom foil. Marmara Pet was the first Turkish company to obtain FDA and EFSA food contact approval for 100% recycled PET (2020) and the first and only Turkish PET foil facility to receive BRCGS Additional Module 10 certification (2022).

The business model is direct B2B manufacturing, with sales conducted via phone, website inquiry, and international trade show presence (Interpack, K-Messe, PACK EXPO, Anuga FoodTech, Hispack, Empack, Interplastica, Food and Pack Show). Revenue derives from one-time sales of PET foil, PET flake, and food-grade rPET materials to food packaging converters, food producers, and pharmaceutical packaging companies, with a significant share of capacity allocated to export across 45 countries. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers contact the company directly for quotations. The company operates with a lean team of approximately 15 employees, indicating a capital-intensive, highly automated production footprint rather than a labor-heavy model. The primary value proposition rests on regulatory first-mover status in food-safe recycled PET within Turkey and a full specialty product range addressing extreme temperature, anti-fog, barrier, and biodegradable packaging requirements from a single integrated facility.

Core offering

MARMARA PET LEVHA produces polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film and sheet from 100% recycled PET (rPET) for use in food-contact packaging applications. The company manufactures thermoforming rollstock and sheets (including cup-base foil, anti-fog, PET/PE laminated, hot-fill, deep-freeze, antistatic, and bio-PET variants) as well as washed PET bottle flakes, supplying packaging converters and food producers. Annual capacities are 24,000 tons of PET foil and 18,000 tons of PET flake.

Product overview

Marmara Pet Levha is a PET film/sheet (pet folyo) manufacturer producing specialized packaging films for food applications. The product portfolio centers on Polietilen Tereftalat (PET) as the core offering, with eight specialized variants addressing specific packaging requirements: Bardak Alt Folyo for cup sealing, Anti Fog for condensation prevention, PET/PE barrier films for enhanced protection, Bio Pet for biodegradability, Antistatik PET for dust protection, Hot Fill for high-temperature applications (75-80°C), and Deep Freeze PET for low-temperature use (-30°C). The company also produces Pet Flake as a recycled raw material input. All products are food-contact certified and manufactured using recycled materials.

Products and services

• PET Film (Bardak Alt Folyo / PET Sheet) Standard recycled-content PET rollstock/sheet sold to thermoforming converters and food packaging manufacturers producing cups, trays, blister packs, and other rigid food packaging.
• Anti-Fog PET Film PET film formulated to resist fogging in chilled/fresh-food packaging, intended for packaging converters supplying fresh produce, salad, and ready-meat trays.
• Deep Freeze PET Film PET film engineered to remain stable and durable at sub-zero temperatures for frozen-food packaging converters and frozen-food producers.
• Hot Fill PET Film PET film engineered to withstand high-temperature hot-fill filling processes for converters and producers of heat-filled food containers (jams, sauces, dairy desserts).
• Antistatic PET Film PET film with antistatic properties for industrial and packaging applications where static dissipation is required during converting and downstream handling.
• PET/PE Laminated Film Laminated PET/PE film that combines rigidity with heat-sealability, used by packaging converters producing sealed food trays and lidding applications.
• Bio-PET Film Bio-based PET film offered as a renewable alternative within the company's food-contact portfolio, targeting converters and brand owners seeking bio-based packaging substrates.
• PET Flake (rPET Bottle Flake) Washed post-consumer recycled PET flake sold to downstream PET processors and converters for further extrusion or compounding. Annual capacity is 18,000 tons.
