SASA Completed Turkiye’s Largest PTA Facility
SASA has completed its strategically important investments in Adana. The company has brought Turkiye’s largest PTA facility and its new chips production facility, which has an annual capacity of 330 thousand tons, into commercial production. These investments will reduce imports and make a significant contribution to the country’s economy.
Operating under the umbrella of Erdemoğlu Holding, SASA is one of the world’s leading producers of polyester, fibre, filament yarn, polyester-based polymers, speciality polymers, and intermediate products. The company continues to prioritise investments that will reduce Turkiye’s current deficit and provide employment.
In a statement to the Public Disclosure Platform (KAP), SASA announced that the Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) Facility, built at a cost of 1.72 billion dollars, has been completed on its Adana campus. The facility has an annual production capacity of 1.75 million tons. The company described this facility as a strategic investment.
The statement reported that the construction, mechanical assembly, commissioning processes and trial production had been completed. These processes were carried out with the contribution of more than 150 companies and involved 40 million man-hours of work. The facility started commercial production on 3 March 2025. It was stated that the raw material produced will largely be used in SASA’s current production capacity, and it was emphasised that the investment will positively impact the company’s long-term revenues and profitability.
SASA also announced that it completed the Textile Chips, Bottle Chips and Pet Chips Production Facility with MTR technology in its Adana campus with an investment of approximately 230 million US dollars and that this facility started commercial production as of April 30. The facility, with an annual capacity of 330,000 tons, is expected to contribute approximately 350 million US dollars to SASA’s turnover. It is known that the company aims to increase its export rates to 50% in the long term with these investments.
Another important investment planned by SASA for the second half of 2025 is Turkiye’s first Low-Melt Fiber Production Facility. The aim is to meet the raw material needs of the nonwoven products used in the hygiene, furniture, textile and health sectors, which currently rely entirely on foreign sources, through domestic production. Through this investment, the company intends to increase its domestic market supply and gain a competitive advantage in the global market with high-value products.
