Stahl expands its presence in Turkey as Weilburger Graphics operations transition to Stahl Kimya

In December 2025, Stahl, a global leader in specialty coatings for flexible materials, completed the integration of Weilburger Graphics’ packaging coatings operations in Turkey. Starting from 1 December 2025, all packaging coating orders in Turkey will be managed directly through Stahl Kimya. This milestone follows Stahl’s acquisition of Weilburger Graphics in 2024 and further strengthens its presence in the packaging coatings market, reinforcing its commitment to delivering world-class coating solutions to local customers.

By transforming the former Weilburger Graphics operations into Stahl Kimya, the company expands its presence in Turkey and solidifies its position as one of the world’s foremost suppliers of packaging coatings. Stahl Kimya will offer an extended range of high-performance, future-ready coating solutions—combining global expertise with deep local know-how.

“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,” said Raymond Bakker, Business Director Packaging Coatings, EMEA. “By uniting the strengths of both companies, we are creating a stronger organisation committed to supporting the fast-evolving needs of the packaging industry.”

With more than 140 years of global expertise, Stahl delivers an extensive portfolio of coating technologies that combine exceptional performance with visual excellence — all designed to protect what matters most while minimizing environmental impact. Customers of Stahl Kimya will benefit from more efficient processes, enhanced technical support, and a transparent, customer-centric approach to market.

Stahl has ensured a smooth and seamless transition for its customers in Turkey. As part of this process, Serkan Bekar will continue in his role as Sales Manager, providing uninterrupted support and guidance.
