The new facility plans an initial hire of 210 manufacturing employees, and is comprised of a 7500 square meter manufacturing area, along with raw materials and product storage. While the new Turkey plant will be initially set up to carry out composite reinforcement manufacturing, it will also serve as a warehousing and cross docking location for break bulk shipments all over the world. Top Glass Industries S.p.A. (Italy) is the business partner of Galen-Panamerica in European market distribution will be taking care of expanding the market opportunities.
