Netherlands-based supplier of speciality coatings for flexible materials Stahl has finalised the integration of Weilburger Graphics’ packaging coatings business in Turkey. 

The transfer of the business took effect on 1 December 2025, and follows Stahl’s acquisition of Weilburger Graphics in 2024.  

The consolidation is intended to reinforce its position in Turkey’s packaging coatings segment. 

The Weilburger Graphics operations in Turkey now trade as Stahl Kimya.  

Stahl Kimya will provide a broader portfolio of coating products, supported by Stahl’s international technical resources alongside its local know-how. 

Serkan Bekar will remain in post as sales manager to support customers. All packaging coating orders in Turkey will now be handled directly by Stahl Kimya. 

The company's coatings technologies are designed to combine high performance and visual appeal with a reduced environmental footprint, drawing on more than 140 years of global experience. 

The integration is intended to simplify internal processes, enhance technical support and provide a more straightforward route to market for its packaging coatings customers in Turkey. 

Stahl EMEA [Europe, Middle East and Africa] Packaging Coatings business director Raymond Bakker stated: “Turkey is a strategically important market for Stahl, and the integration of Weilburger Graphics’ activities allows us to serve our local customers with even greater efficiency and innovation. 

“By uniting the strengths of both companies, we are creating a stronger organisation committed to supporting the fast-evolving needs of the packaging industry.”
