Galsan Plastik, a well-established automotive company with 45 years of experience in the field of plastic injection, has built its new factory on a 19,500 m² plot in the Dilovası Makinacılar Organized Industrial Zone, designed by IGLO Architects.
The project, designed with a planned closed area of 20,000 m² and employing 300 people, integrates production, storage, management center, offices, social areas, and technical spaces. The facility features two large single-story halls and two-story storage areas, doubling the company's current production capacity.
IGLO Architects prioritized the use of recyclable materials in the design of the Galsan Plastic Factory, focusing on criteria such as efficient use of natural light throughout the building, energy savings to reduce costs, and resource recovery. The structure benefits from solar energy, and rainwater and greywater are collected and recycled for reuse. In addition to bright and airy workspaces, the design includes open terraces and garden areas where all employees can enjoy refreshing spaces.
