Food packaging company Sirane has opened a manufacturing facility in Turkey. About 10 years after opening its facility in Telford, UK, the company opened a second operation in Antalya, a port city in Turkey.

Sirane managing director Simon Balderson said that Turkey has a large population and a large food industry and so it is the perfect location for Sirane to open a new base.

The new location will help Sirane push into Turkey, the Middle East, North Africa and north into Russia and Ukraine. "Some of our key markets - meat, fruit and vegetables - are also key markets in Turkey, with vast quantities of food being produced and shipped around the region," Balderson added.

The company noted that the recent innovations, such as its shelf-life extending bags and films, absorbent fruit pads and odour absorbing meat pads, are ideal for this region.

"But we're also looking to introduce other innovations, such as our range of cooking bags, to a whole new market. We're very excited about the possibilities in the region," Balderson said.
