Şişecam announced its financial results for the first nine months of 2025. In this period, consolidated net sales reached TRY 162 billion. The share of international sales representing the sum of exports from Türkiye and sales from production facilities outside Türkiye accounted for 60 percent of total consolidated sales. In the same period Şişecam’s total investment amounted to TRY 22.9 billion, while exports reached USD 706 million. During this period, Şişecam produced 4.2 million tonnes of glass, 3.2 million tonnes of soda ash, and 2.9 million tonnes of industrial raw materials.
Stating that the third quarter of 2025 was a period in which global macroeconomic and geopolitical developments continued to impact the business environment, Şişecam CEO Can Yücel evaluated the company’s performance for the first nine months as follows: “Despite ongoing challenges and volatility in the global economic landscape, Şişecam continues its efforts to enhance operational profitability, maintain its market position, and create value for all stakeholders through sustainable, value-added production. ‘Efficiency Management Program,’ which we launched at the beginning of the year, with a focus on a more productive working approach, has once again contributed positively to our results during third quarter.
“We will maintain the same level of diligence throughout the remainder of 2025. In line with our goal of preserving cash flow and strengthening our financial structure, we will keep taking steps toward cost-saving and simplification, while continuing to focus on high value-added areas and related assets that generate revenue. We will keep applying this approach meticulously in the upcoming periods, as we have already started to achieve the positive outcomes we anticipated.”
Tarsus investment commissioned
Yücel stated that 2025 represents a significant milestone for Şişecam as major investments are being completed and starting to generate returns. “Among our prioritised and value-added projects, we commissioned the energy glass furnace and processing lines in Tarsus on September 19, 2025. With a total investment of EUR 200 million, our annual installed patterned glass production capacity in Türkiye reached an annual gross of 396 thousand tonnes, and our energy glass processing capacity reached 47 million square metres. Since its launch, the investment has seen strong domestic demand.
“Through this project, we aim to support Türkiye to utilize its resources more efficiently in the energy sector, contribute to the green transformation process, and significantly reduce energy glass imports. We will also complete our investment in the Tarsus flat glass furnace, which is part of our Tarsus production complex and has a daily capacity of 1,200 tonnes, within the planned schedule. Together with our other facilities in the region, this investment will provide our country with a capacity that offers significant export potential thanks to its proximity to logistics routes and its strategic location.”
