Agility & Resilience

Agility and Resilience
— Continued to Deliver Robust Growth Despite a High-Inflation Environment

Betek Boya continues to deliver strong growth, outperforming competitors in a challenging environment. In 2025, while major competitors faced sharp declines in volume and sales, with sales down 17% to 28% year on year, Betek Boya expanded its market share to 36% in decorative paints and 50% in ETICS.

This resilience is driven by being grounded in the market and united in execution, leveraging efficiency-focused production, having a completely dominating sales channel, and maintaining a decisive strategic marketing mindset.

Platform in Action

Leveraging the Group’s Platform
— Advancing a Multi-Brand Strategy to Drive Growth

Betek Boya’s competitive advantage is anchored in exceptional brand awareness, with Filli Boya achieving a 49% Top-of-Mind score. Through our Multibrand Strategy 2.0, we have redesigned our portfolio with a structured portfolio discipline and value-creation lens, reducing brand overlap and sharpening capital allocation.

This disciplined architecture positions NIPPON PAINT in the premium segment, Filli Boya as the upper-middle flagship, and Fawori for the economy segments. This strategy strengthens pricing power and mitigates risk, especially as consumers increasingly prioritize premium brands due to the rising share of application labor costs in total painting expenses.

Regional Expansion

Product and Geographic Expansion Through NIPSEA Group’s Comprehensive Strengths
— Betek Boya and Alina as Growth Anchors: Broadening the Lineup and Accelerating Expansion Across Regions

Türkiye Group’s strategic influence across Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa continues to expand. Betek Boya serves as a growing East-West technology and manufacturing hub, supported by its extensive distribution network in paint and wood coatings. Alina’s production infrastructure and dry-mix expertise have further strengthened this path.

Betek Boya’s mastery in ETICS, industrial coatings, and multi-brand leadership — backed by 14 production facilities — will drive strategic development. Accordingly, the transition of the Fawori brand, along with SAF and Alkyd product lines, into the Alina portfolio has been initiated.

By leveraging Malaysia Group+ synergies and an agile operating model, we ensure cost efficiency and competitive advantage, solidifying our sustainable leadership in the region as we seek to expand into new markets.
