With this facility, which will rank among the largest in the world in terms of capacity, ����ş�𳦲���’s flat glass production capacity will exceed 5 million tons.

����ş�𳦲���, the only global company operating in all core areas of glass, has completed its greenfield flat glass facility and TR9 line investment in Tarsus, realized with an investment of 315 million Euros. Equipped with the TR9 furnace and line, the facility has an annual gross production capacity of 432,000 tons, making it the largest flat glass facility ever built by ����ş�𳦲��� and one of the highest-capacity flat glass facilities in the world. With the commissioning of this new facility, ����ş�𳦲���’s flat glass production capacity will exceed 5 million tons.

One of the largest facilities in the world

Commenting on the TR9 line investment, ����ş�𳦲��� CEO Can Yücel noted that Tarsus’s strategic location provided significant advantages for the project. Yücel continued: "With this investment, which aligns with our sustainability‑focused and value‑added production strategy, we have established one of the world’s largest flat glass manufacturing facilities. The commissioning of the new line will further strengthen ����ş�𳦲���’s flat glass production capability and significantly enhance our competitive position in global markets. Our facility, which will supply clear flat glass products to the domestic market, will also provide base glass for the coating line we will soon commission in Tarsus. These value‑added products will serve as inputs for our architectural glass product groups. As a result, we expect improved capacity utilization and stronger margin resilience, while efficiencies in supply chain and logistics will further enhance working capital performance.”

The integrated raw material facilities are becoming operational

As part of the investment, the sand preparation facility, located within the same complex as the TR9 line, has also been made ready for production. The sand used in glass manufacturing will be processed in this facility and then transferred to the furnace. In addition, the capacity expansion of the limestone–dolomite processing facility in Mersin Organized Industrial Zone has been completed. With this expansion, the raw materials required by TR9 will also be supplied from this plant.
