Schades Group Announces the Opening of Schades Türkiye, Expanding Its International Footprint

Schades Group, a leading pioneer in the packaging industry, announces a significant step in its international growth strategy with the opening of a new office and warehouse operation in Türkiye.

This expansion strengthens the company’s presence in a market with substantial economic potential and positions Türkiye as a strategic bridge between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. With its large population, strong consumption patterns, and unique geographic location, Türkiye represents a major growth opportunity for Schades.

Schades sees a clear competitive advantage in bringing European quality standards, strong sustainability focus, and its membership of Two Sides to a market that has traditionally been difficult to enter for outside companies.

Customers in Türkiye and surrounding regions will benefit from the reliability of Schades’ established service model, now strengthened by a dedicated local customer service representative as well as the presence of a Managing Director/Sales Representative in Türkiye. This local setup ensures customers receive support in their own language, faster response times, and a more personalized, hands‑on service experience. 

“As the European market leader in POS rolls and self-adhesive labels, our entry into Türkiye marks a significant milestone as our first expansion outside the European Union.” said Emrah Karahan, Managing Director, Schades Türkiye. “Türkiye’s unique energy and immense market potential make it the ideal location to grow our presence. Driven by our vision of being the ‚Last Man Standing‘ in the industry, my focus as Managing Director will be on building a resilient and strong local operation that not only serves this vibrant market but also contributes to the growth of the regional ecosystem.”

“The expansion into Türkiye reflects Schades’ continued commitment to customer focus, and responsible business practices” said Jun Park, CEO at Schades Group. “This move aligns perfectly with our long-term ambition to expand internationally and support customers across borders.”
