WE BELIEVE IN AND SUPPORT OUR YOUNG DESIGNERS
Commenting on the contest result, Mr. Zeki Sarıbekir, President of ASD said: “Design is as important as the packaging itself. We believe in the vision of our young designers and support them all the way. We received the returns of this support in the international arena. We are very pleased that 15 students from Türkiye ranked at the WorldStar Student Competition organized by the World Packaging Organization (WPO). We are very proud that a Turkish student ranked the top at this competition. The countries that we shared the top three ranks are the USA and China in turns. Our students have been at the top three ranks in recent years. While we are taking firm steps toward the future, we are even more hopeful with such successful performances of our students. In this time when value added exports are highly important, I would like to singularly congratulate our students that we accept as the future of our sector. As ASD, we will continue to contribute to our youth and sector with our competitions.”
