Our History<\/strong><\/h4>

1968<\/strong> The story of Turkay Plastik began in 1968 in izmir, Turkiye, as a small lathe workshop driven by determination and innovation. At a time when shoe machinery was scarce and typically imported, its founder, Naz\u0131m Turkay, identified this critical market gap and acted decisively to fill it. Turkay Plastik became the first company in the country to manufacture domestic shoe machines, establishing itself as a pioneer and making a significant contribution to local production. This success marked the beginning of the company’s journey into the field of technical plastics.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

1980<\/strong> Inspired by the polyethylene sheets used in shoe machinery, Naz\u0131m Turkay envisioned broader applications for this material. Turkay Plastik expanded its operations to produce technical plastic components and engineering plastics.
As the company’s expertise deepened, it recognized a need to address hygiene challenges in food preparation. At a time when food cutting and preparation in Turkiye relied on unhygienic wooden surfaces, Turkay Plastik pioneered the production of polyethylene boards designed for safe food contact. Building on this success, the company entered the HORECA sector, introducing polyethylene kitchen equipment that enhanced both hygiene and efficiency in industrial kitchens.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Since that time, Turkay Plastik have been regularly participating in fairs to welcome their customers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
