Who We Are

A Trading Company Built on Trust Since 2013

Dash International was founded in 2013 in Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye. We are a trading company, not a manufacturer: we do not run our own mills or plants. Our work is to find reliable Turkish manufacturers and international suppliers, match them with the right buyers, and manage the trade between them from the first inquiry to the delivered container.

Over more than a decade we have grown from a regional paper trader into an international supplier across six product lines: raw paper rolls, paper and cardboard waste, paper chemicals and pulp, plastic waste, plastic granules and resin, and PET packaging. Today we handle more than 180,000 metric tons a year, work with 12+ partner paper mills, and ship to 24+ countries.

Our position between Türkiye, the Middle East and Europe is our main strength. We understand the specifications Turkish mills expect, the documents importers in the region need, and the way containers move through Turkish ports. We are also the authorized agent for Kipaş starch, one of the paper-industry chemicals we supply.

Strategic Architecture

The Three Pillars of Our Operational Ecosystem

1. Inbound Sourcing Excellence

🏭

2. Turkish Industrial Integration

Direct long-term volume agreements with premier paper mills in Marmara, Aegean, and Mediterranean industrial hubs ensure constant production capacity, high burst strength, and customized roll widths.

🚢

3. Global Outbound Logistics

Unlocking rapid container shipping through Istanbul (Ambarlı), Mersin, and Izmir ports, reaching converters and packaging manufacturers across the Middle East, North Africa, and global markets.

Sustainability

Keeping Paper and Plastic in the Loop

Recovered paper and plastic are raw materials, not waste. By moving them from collection points to paper mills, recycling plants and converters, we help keep material in use for longer and reduce the demand for virgin resources. Sustainability is part of how we choose products and partners, not only a slogan.
