At the 30th Eurasia Packaging Istanbul Fair, held from October 22 to 25, 2025, at the TÜYAP Fair and Congress Center, Toyo Printing Inks presented its environmentally friendly solutions and its transformation vision under the artience brand to visitors. At its exhibition booth, Toyo Printing Inks showcased the results of its technological and sustainable transformation implemented in line with the artience vision. The focus was on environmentally friendly product groups for food and flexible packaging, lamination adhesives, and liquid printing inks.
A Popular Meeting Point with Strong Response
Over the four-day event, the Toyo Printing Inks stand became a highly frequented meeting point for visitors from both domestic and international markets. In addition to existing business partners, the company held numerous constructive discussions with potential customers from the Middle East, Europe, and Africa.
Following the fair, Yakup Benli, CEO and Member of the Board of Directors of Toyo Printing Inks, drew a positive conclusion: “The Eurasia Packaging Fair was not only a platform for presenting our products, but also an important meeting point to introduce our sustainable production approach to a broader audience. With our new production facility, we were able to present our manufacturing technologies, our environmentally conscious infrastructure, and the artience vision as an integrated whole. The strong interest shown by visitors clearly demonstrates that we are on the right path. We will consistently continue our innovation- and transformation-driven growth—from Türkiye to Europe, and from the Middle East to Africa.”
Ercan Açıkgöz, Sales Director at Toyo Printing Inks, outlined the key trends observed at the fair: “A large share of visitor inquiries focused on products that meet both sustainability and performance requirements. In particular, our low-migration inks and newly developed lamination adhesives attracted strong interest in the flexible packaging segment. The fair clearly showed that our next-generation ink and coating systems deliver real added value from the customer’s perspective. The personal discussions with customers from both domestic and export markets were extremely valuable in shaping our future sales strategies.”
Engin Kurt, Sales Director at Toyo Printing Inks, also emphasized the market dynamics:
“Especially in the offset segment, there was strong interest in our low-migration ink series that comply with regulatory requirements. Sustainability is no longer a trend, but an integral part of customer expectations. The feedback on our environmentally friendly and high-performance offset solutions clearly demonstrated how rapidly this transformation is taking place in practice. The fact that our products stand out in terms of both quality and safety is of great importance to us. Trade fairs like this also play a key role in keeping a finger on the pulse of the industry.”
Mehmet Hakan Ülüş, Export Manager at Toyo Printing Inks, highlighted the international significance of the event: “This year’s Eurasia Packaging Fair was extremely successful not only for the Turkish market, but also with regard to international cooperation. We had intensive discussions particularly with visitors from Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. It is clear that the industry is increasingly embracing an innovative approach and that the concept of the circular economy is gaining importance in both production and consumption processes. We will continue our efforts to be part of an innovative and responsible manufacturing mindset.”
