Şişecam reported net sales of TRY 195 billion (approximately $3.88 billion) for the first nine months of 2026, as several major glass manufacturing investments reached full production capacity and the company strengthened its commercial presence in the United States.
According to its Q3 2026 financial results, the Turkish manufacturer achieved full capacity utilisation at its Tarsus solar glass facility and flat glass production line, as well as its coated glass operations in Bulgaria and Italy. These developments mark the completion of the greenfield investments included in the company’s current investment roadmap.
During the January–September period, Şişecam invested $338 million and generated $707 million in exports. International sales accounted for 59% of total revenue, while glass production reached 4.3 million tonnes.
The company also commissioned its second flat glass production line in Egypt and is approaching completion of its coated glass investment in India, further extending its manufacturing capabilities across key international markets. 
CEO Can Yücel said the company is now shifting its attention from investment expansion towards maximising the value of its newly established production capacity, improving operational efficiency and strengthening financial performance.
Strengthening Its U.S. Presence
Şişecam has also established Şişecam USA Trading, a wholly owned subsidiary of Türkiye Şişe ve Cam Fabrikaları A.Ş., incorporated in August 2026 with initial capital of $100,000.
The new entity will support the company’s flat glass, solar glass and glassware operations in the United States, focusing on customer acquisition, service development and expanding its commercial reach, particularly in the flat glass segment.
