As part of this process, Frigoglass’ Silivri-based Turkish manufacturing plant will cease operations by the end of 2014.
Through this consolidation of its European operations, Frigoglass will significantly improve its cost structure and strengthen long-term competitiveness. The commercial and customer service activities in Turkey will be seamlessly continued during the integration period and beyond.
“The integration of the Turkish operations into our Romanian plant is a quantum leap for Frigoglass,” said CEO Torsten Tuerling. “It will drive economies of scale, improve overhead cost absorption and reduce complexity within our manufacturing footprint in Europe. Not only will this integration improve our cost competitiveness, it will also enable the next phase of lean manufacturing transformation towards operational excellence and outstanding quality. With this integration, we demonstrate that we are prepared to make bold moves in order to continually improve the performance of our business and to enhance customer value.”
