Turkish glassmaker Sisecam has started operations at a new coated glass production line in northern Italy following a €25 million ($29.61 million) investment, aiming to expand capacity and strengthen its position in the European glass market.
The new line, located at the company’s San Giorgio di Nogaro facility, increases Sisecam’s coated glass production capacity in Italy from 6 million square meters to 12.5 million square meters.
The expansion aims to help the company meet rising demand for high-performance architectural glass products across Europe, Sisecam said in a public filing released Tuesday.
Sisecam Chief Executive Officer Can Yucel said the new line would both expand production capacity and broaden the company’s product portfolio. "With the coated glass line investment we have commissioned at our San Giorgio di Nogaro facility, we will better respond to rising demand in Europe and deliver our value-added products to customers in Western Europe," he stated.
Yucel added that increased coated architectural glass capacity across both Eastern and Western Europe would improve the company’s service quality and expand its range of specialized products in the region.
In late January, Sisecam completed a new coated glass line at its flat glass facility in Bulgaria, adding 6 million square meters of annual capacity.
The company also plans to bring a coated glass production line online in Tarsus, Türkiye, later this year, which will add 7 million square meters of annual capacity and increase its global coated glass lines to seven, with total capacity reaching 48.1 million square meters.
Founded in 1935, Sisecam operates across multiple sectors, including flat glass, glassware, packaging, chemicals, automotive glass, glass fiber, mining, energy and recycling, and runs production facilities in 12 countries across four continents, including Türkiye, Italy, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Russia, Georgia, Egypt, India and the United States.
The company supplies products to customers in more than 150 countries through its global supply network.
It reported consolidated net sales of ₺225 billion ($5.69 billion) in 2025, with international operations accounting for 59.34% of total sales, while exports reached $938 million and total investments stood at ₺35.8 billion.
