Thin-Wall Injection Molding Machine Supplier for Turkey

Turkey's food packaging market is among the largest in the Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean region, valued at over USD 12 billion and growing at 6-8% annually. The country's young population of 85 million and strong food processing industry create sustained demand for plastic packaging across dairy, ready-meal, confectionery, and food service segments. Domestic production capacity has expanded rapidly as Turkish manufacturers invest in modern equipment to serve both the local market and export to neighboring regions. The thin-wall injection molding segment is particularly strong in Turkey due to the dairy industry's scale. Turkey produces over 1.1 million tonnes of yogurt annually, with the majority packaged in injection-molded PP cups ranging from 150 mL to 1,000 mL. Leading dairy brands including Sutas, Pinar, Danone Turkey, and Ulker require packaging suppliers with high-volume production capability, food safety certification, and consistent quality. This creates opportunities for equipment suppliers who can provide complete production solutions.

Turkey's import regulations for industrial machinery are well-established and relatively straightforward for Chinese equipment suppliers. Injection molding machines enter Turkey under HS code 8477.10 with import duties typically ranging from 0-3% depending on the specific machine type and any applicable trade preferences. CE marking is required for machinery sold in Turkey, and HWAMDA SPV5 machines are supplied with full CE certification including conformity documentation. For food-contact packaging production, Turkish regulations follow the framework established by the Turkish Food Codex, which is largely harmonized with EU food contact regulations. Packaging producers must comply with the Turkish implementation of EU Regulation 10/2011 for plastic food contact materials. This requires that the PP resin and any additives used meet positive list requirements and that finished packaging passes overall and specific migration testing. HWAMDA's equipment is designed to process food-grade PP resins that comply with these requirements, and the company provides material compatibility documentation to support customers' regulatory submissions.

HWAMDA has established a growing presence in the Turkish market with multiple SPV5 installations serving dairy packaging producers across the country's industrial regions. Typical installations include SPV5-380 and SPV5-400 machines paired with 8-12 cavity yogurt cup molds, achieving cycle times of 3.5-4.5 seconds for standard 200 mL and 500 mL dairy cups. These systems produce 8,000-12,000 cups per hour per machine, meeting the volume requirements of mid-sized dairy packaging converters who supply Turkey's major dairy brands. Several Turkish customers have expanded from initial single-machine purchases to multi-line facilities as they gained confidence in HWAMDA equipment performance and reliability. Complete turnkey installations include the SPV5 machine, hot runner mold, robotic take-out and stacking system, mold temperature controller, material drying and feeding system, and downstream conveying equipment. HWAMDA's ability to supply the entire production line as a coordinated system, with all components tested together before shipment, provides significant advantages over purchasing individual components from multiple suppliers.

Shipping from HWAMDA's facility in Ningbo, China to Turkish ports (Istanbul, Mersin, or Izmir) takes approximately 18-25 days by sea freight. HWAMDA handles all export logistics including packing, documentation, and freight forwarding to the Turkish port. Customers manage customs clearance using HWAMDA-provided documentation and arrange inland transport to their facility. Installation and commissioning by HWAMDA engineers takes 7-10 days on site, including operator training. HWAMDA's after-sales support for Turkey includes remote diagnostics via internet-connected controllers, enabling real-time troubleshooting with engineers in China. Spare parts for common wear items ship from regional stock within 5-7 business days. HWAMDA is developing local service partnerships in Turkey to reduce response times for on-site support. The company's engineers have accumulated experience with Turkish power supply conditions, environmental factors, and operational practices, enabling smooth installations and reliable ongoing support. Turkey's strategic location also benefits from proximity to HWAMDA's service activities across the broader Middle East region.
