Viking Paper & Cellulose

Viking Kağıt ve Selüloz A.S. is a tissue paper producer manufacturing in the Aliaga district of Izmir. Part of the Yasar Group, the company has its shares traded on Borsa Istanbul under the ticker VKING.

The company was founded in Aliaga in 1969 and started producing packaging and printing paper in 1971. After joining the Yasar Group in 1982, modernization investments were made, and its shares were offered to the public in 1994. Viking entered the tissue paper business in 1996 and launched the Select brand for the away-from-home channel in 1998; in 2000 a deinking plant processing recycled paper was commissioned. Today it produces toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, boxed tissues and wet wipes. Brands such as Lily, Senso, Pufla and Select Nature are used for at-home consumption, while the away-from-home channel is supplied under the Select brand; semi-finished and private-label production is also carried out.

For tissue paper producers, pulp and waste paper prices, energy costs, competition in the retail channel and export demand are the decisive topics. The VKING page on Lzzo.com brings together the latest price, daily statistics, a price chart with different time ranges and technical indicators.
