Kaplamin Packaging

Kaplamin Ambalaj Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. is an industrial manufacturer of paper-based packaging. Headquartered in the Kemalpasa Organised Industrial Zone in Izmir, the company describes itself as part of the Cukurova Paper and Packaging Group (Cukurova Kagit ve Ambalaj Grubu) and says it has been active in packaging since 1976. Its shares trade on Borsa Istanbul under the ticker KAPLM.

Its main product is corrugated cardboard packaging. For food and agriculture it produces boxes for fresh fruit and vegetables, solid and liquid oils, meat, fish, eggs and beverages, while for industry it develops packaging solutions for chemicals, consumer durables, automotive components, textiles, ceramics and sanitaryware. Heavy-duty boxes, structural and graphic design, and product development services are also offered; the group's reach into waste management and recycled paper production creates a circular value chain.

For corrugated cardboard makers such as KAPLM, paper and waste paper prices, energy costs, the seasonality of agricultural exports and the trend in industrial production affect sales and margins. Growth in e-commerce and food shipments supports packaging demand, while swings in demand can be reflected in pricing. The KAPLM page on Lzzo.com offers a price chart and a return calculator.
