Winston Score History

The full picture

SASA Polyester Sanayi is a major Turkish manufacturer of polyester-based products, including polyester fibers, yarns, chips, and PET resins. The company serves textile producers, packaging companies, and industrial customers across Turkey and international markets. It is one of the largest integrated polyester producers in Turkey and the broader region.

SASA generates revenue by selling polyester raw materials and finished products to downstream manufacturers. The company is headquartered in Adana, Turkey, and operates large-scale production facilities that give it cost advantages through vertical integration. Its ongoing capacity expansion projects aim to make it one of the biggest polyester complexes in Europe, but the business faces risks from volatile raw material costs, cyclical demand in the petrochemical sector, and thin operating margins that leave limited room for error during downturns.
