Our Facilities

Where it's actually made - in-house, in Turkey, since 1982

A lot of companies in this industry call themselves manufacturers. Far fewer can show you the factory. CAGS can.

Since 1982, we have produced rolling papers, cigarette tubes, tobacco, and accessories in our own state-of-the-art facilities in Turkey. We don't badge someone else's stock and pass it on. The product that carries your order, or your brand, is made on lines we own, by people we employ, to standards we control.

This page shows you how, and why it matters to anyone deciding who to trust with their supply.

Why in-house manufacturing is the whole point

The single most important fact about a supplier in this category is whether they own their production. It determines everything downstream.

  • Quality control: We set and hold the tolerances on every run, rather than accepting whatever a third party ships.
  • Consistency at scale: The same line, the same settings, and the same standard across millions of units.
  • Competitive pricing: Factory-direct, with no middleman margin stacked on top of yours.
  • Real customisation: Because the line is ours to configure, custom means genuinely built to your spec, not a label on stock product.
  • Accountability: When something needs fixing, the people who made it fix it. No supplier to chase.

Traders and re-labellers can't offer these, because they don't control the factory. We do. That's the difference this page exists to prove.

Located in Turkey

Turkey is both the home of fine tobacco and a global crossroads, and our Istanbul base gives partners the benefits of both.

  • Heritage and know-how: Turkey's tobacco tradition runs deep, and so does the manufacturing expertise around it. We've drawn on it for more than 40 years from our primary operations in Istanbul.
  • Logistics: Situated at the crossroads of Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, Istanbul offers robust maritime, air, and overland freight routes in every direction for flexible global supply.

Innovation and investment

We continuously reinvest in our facility footprint with automated high-speed booklet interleavers, energy-efficient processing systems, and ongoing R&D into bio-degradable, unbleached, and chemical-free material technologies for forward-thinking brands worldwide.

Being modern and innovative is not a slogan here. It is built into the production environment itself.
