Pelsan Tekstil A.S., a global leader in breathable film technologies for the hygiene and medical sectors, is establishing its first U.S. manufacturing facility in Goldsboro, NC. Supported by a significant investment, the new site is reinforcing Pelsan’s long-term commitment to innovation, customer proximity and sustainable growth in the U.S. market. Founded in 2006 as a subsidiary of the Hassan Group, Pelsan was the first company in Turkey to manufacture breathable polyethylene films. Today, the company serves a global customer base across the hygiene, medical, and insulation industries and is known for its cutting-edge technology, high production standards, and innovation-driven culture.
 
Leveraging over 80 years of experience from the Hassan Group in nonwoven and polymer film technologies, Pelsan has developed one of the industry’s most advanced product portfolios. The company’s Çerkezköy, Turkey facility, opened in 2021, showcases an integrated approach to film and printing technologies and reflects a deep commitment to sustainability and technical excellence.
 
“This expansion is a major strategic milestone for us,” says Ali Sisman, CEO of Pelsan Tekstil. “Our decision to invest in North Carolina underscores our belief in the region’s strong workforce, robust infrastructure, and its alignment with our values of innovation and collaboration. This facility represents a significant new chapter in our company’s journey. We are at a pivotal moment – at the intersection of life and innovation. This journey of transformation and progress is not just ours, but one we share with every individual seeking change, growth, and a better tomorrow.” 
 
The Goldsboro facility will manufacture breathable polyethylene films for hygiene and medical applications, enabling Pelsan to respond more efficiently to rising demand across North America. Strategically located near key logistics hubs, the plant will feature state-of-the-art production lines, advanced automation and environmentally responsible practices aligned with Pelsan’s global sustainability goals.
 
“This facility brings us closer to our customers and enhances our ability to deliver with speed, flexibility, and precision,” adds Sisman. “It also demonstrates our trust in the U.S. market and our commitment to building long-term value in the communities we serve.”
 
With the launch of Pelsan US, Inc., the company not only strengthens its global supply capabilities but also reinforces its presence in one of the world’s most dynamic markets for hygiene and medical products.
 
“We are proud to become part of the Wayne County and North Carolina business community,” adds Sisman. “We deeply appreciate the strong support and partnership of local and state leaders. Their partnership has been instrumental in bringing this vision to life, and we look forward to growing together successfully.”
