International Structuring and Recent Developments
Shortly thereafter, in May 2015, Amsterdam-based company Bak Flexibles BV started operations in order to be closer to our customers in the targeted Western Europe market, to strengthen our international brand identity, and to support Bak Ambalaj’s sales in the region in terms of both sales force and logistics. The second overseas-based (Amsterdam-based) company included in the Group, Bak Global Trade BV (It’s renamed as P&B; Flexibles), kicked off operations towards the end of 2016 in order to benefit from cost-effective financing facilities in Europe in the process of overseas raw material procurement. Building upon these developments, in 2025, Bak Flexibles Germany was established in Düsseldorf, Germany, strategically positioning the company closer to its customers across the DACH region—encompassing Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, which represent Bak Ambalaj’s key target markets. This new entity has been founded to strengthen the company’s presence in the region and to provide enhanced support in both sales and logistics for Bak Ambalaj’s operations. 2017 marks the first step into the dry food industry with Freshbak, a 100% Bakioğlu Holding subsidiary. Achieving a first in Turkey, Freshbak operates by investing in Freeze Dry, a technology unparalleled on industrial terms. The brand architecture of Bakioğlu Holding and Group Companies was renewed and new corporate identity efforts were undertaken in 2018. After Freshbak, a new investment was realized in 2023 in the frozen food sector with MeyV Dondurulmuş Gıda The Frozen Food Company aims to contribute to the agro-industry, farmers and producers with an annual processing volume of 4,000 tonnes as well as creating a significant value for the national economy with an export target of 60%.
Adding value to the country by achieving “the best” in all activity fields thanks to continuous investment and development, guiding its activities with the mission of being an "everlasting” respected group of companies globally, developing an integrated "Packaging Industry" from scratch from 1973 to the present day and making it compatible with international standards, Bakioğlu Holding takes great pride in bringing this success to the Turkish Packaging Sector in a globally-competitive environment.
