Established in 1935, Şişecam stands as one of the cornerstones of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s vision to establish a self-sufficient nation and a national glass industry in the early years of the Turkish Republic. Beginning with the essential mission of producing items such as gas lamps and medicine bottles for a young nation, Şişecam has grown to operate 45 production facilities in 14 countries, employing over 24,000 people. As the company celebrates its 90th anniversary, it reflects on a legacy of growth and innovation.
