Turkish ring binder manufacturer Alemdar told ISG at the Istanbul stationery show that it is currently negotiating to buy new machines for its manufacturing plant. The company currently has an annual production of 8 million units and the goal is to increase this by 25-30% in 2009.
Some of this extra capacity will go towards expanding Alemdar’s exports, which have been growing steadily. It is now focusing on the Eastern and Western European markets where it sees an increase in demand for its high-quality binders.
