Şişecam's extensive operating network spanning 14 countries on four continents, coupled with scenario- based strategies and a strong infrastructure based on digitalization enabled us to quickly adapt to these sudden changes.
To date, our 800 operational efficiency initiatives have yielded a USD 50 million cost reduction.
The glass packaging facility that we are about to commission in Eskişehir is the biggest facility of its kind in the world with five furnaces and 24 lines at a single site.
We obtained an infrastructure ready for future technologies in areas such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and digital twins.
We develop collaboration initiatives with leading Turkish and global institutions. We also introduce innovations in high technology areas, such as Green Transformation in Industry and Smart Production with Artificial Intelligence.
