Toyo Printing Inks intends to use the new land to build a new manufacturing facility to expand and enhance the current R&D and production facilities.

“The proposed expansion is expected to take a total investment of JPY3bn.”

The company also plans to construct a new polymer production facility that will supply inks, coatings and adhesives.

The construction of the plant is scheduled to begin next year, with completion expected in 2019.

Subsequently, the company also plans to increase ink and coating production gradually within three to five years.

Toyo Ink SC Holdings has been increasing its operating foothold in Turkey as part of its growth strategy to expand its businesses throughout the MENA region.

In 2014, the company established a liaison office in Istanbul followed by the opening of a sales company in the city in 2015.

Last year, the company acquired Toyo Printing Inks (formerly known as DYO Printing Inks) to start its manufacturing operations in Turkey.
