Daio Paper expands hygiene operations via Elleair Turkey unit

WISE NEWS PRESS / KOCAELİ, TÜRKİYE

Japan’s Daio Paper Co., one of the world’s top ten hygiene and paper manufacturers, is accelerating its regional growth through Elleair International Turkey following the strategic acquisition of the Gebze-based production facility.

The company established its Turkish presence in June 2020 by acquiring Ozen Kisisel Bakim A.S., integrating the Gebze factory into its vast global network. This move positions Turkey as a critical manufacturing base, combining Japanese engineering excellence with local logistical advantages to serve markets across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

Global leadership in hygiene and paper

Founded in 1943, Daio Paper Co. has evolved into a global powerhouse, maintaining principle offices in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Fukuoka. Beyond Japan, the conglomerate operates across more than 20 countries, including major facilities in the USA (Oregon and Hawaii), Chile, and now Turkey. The company’s inclusion in the global top 10 for the hygiene category underscores its commitment to large-scale, high-quality production standards.

Strategic importance of the Gebze facility

The Gebze plant represents a significant investment in Daio Paper’s international portfolio, focusing on high-performance hygiene products. By utilizing the existing infrastructure of Ozen Kisisel Bakim, Elleair International Turkey has streamlined its production processes to meet Daio's rigorous global quality benchmarks. This facility is now central to the group's mission of providing innovative paper solutions to a diverse international consumer base.

Future outlook for Elleair Turkey

As Daio Paper Co. continues to expand its footprint, the Turkish unit is expected to play a pivotal role in the company’s long-term sustainability and market penetration goals. The integration of Japanese manufacturing philosophies within the Gebze plant ensures that Elleair Turkey remains a competitive player in the global hygiene sector, driving both local employment and international export volume.
