Our Team

We are curious people. We are not bound by any borders. We worked and lived in Europe, Asia and North America. We served top food companies across the globe, celebrated hard-fought successes of many start-ups, built processing and packaging operations and trained talent in multiple geographies. Nejat and Suleyman formed Çınar to serve packaging businesses in Turkey and carefully building a service portfolio and expert network.

We invite you to learn more about our growing network, offerings and experiences.

Our Purpose​

We care deeply seeing potentials fulfilled; in business, in personal relationships or in our communities. We believe packaging advances quality of human life across the planet, but information needed to make better packaging decisions are disconnected and inefficient.


At Çınar, we love identifying waste in business operations, solving problems in packaging system design supply chain and in procurement. 

We seek know-how and expertise, connect them to our network, develop technologies to make it easy and available for businesses in Turkey.


Responsibility

Any business interaction we take, our view is always  through a lens of responsible leadership. The context is continuous improvement; for our team, our customers, our investors and communities we live in.


For example, we do not refer to any packaging format as fully sustainable. A widely available packaging choice is solving a problem and addressing consumer a need. What matters is the on-going progress a company makes in reducing societal and environmental impact while producing that particular package.


We are custodians of our investors resources, our customers, employees and communities trust on us. We work hard to deliver on this promise.
