Jean-Pascal Bobst, CEO of Bobst Group.
Bobst is expanding its distribution capabilities by establishing its own sales and services organisation in Turkey, thus broadening the company’s geographic presence to 24 countries.
Jean-Pascal Bobst, CEO of Bobst Group, commented, ‘Turkey is a strong market at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, with positive growth prospects. This new subsidiary gives Bobst a strong platform to serve its customers in the region and is in line with its strategy to expand in fast growing markets across the globe. We are confident in the long term outlook for Turkey’s packaging market.’
Bobst has appointed Ibrahim Caglar as managing director of its Turkish subsidiary. He said, ‘I’m very excited to be leading this new Bobst subsidiary. The Turkish economy is characterised by a fast growing entrepreneurial middle class, but we still spend far less on packaging per capita than other European markets. Thanks to our strong market position and unparalleled portfolio of solutions for the packaging industry, we are well placed to increase our share of an expanding market.’
