Noki
Parent Company: Hamelin Group
Activity
Kalem, Ofis Malzemeleri
Reason for Boycott
Derya Büro Malzemeleri (Noki), established in 1994 and having grown into Turkey's largest manufacturer of filing products, completely lost its domestic capital status in 2013 when it was 100% acquired by the France-based stationery giant Hamelin Group. The element pulling the brand directly into the red list is the strategic logistical partnership its parent company, Hamelin Group, maintains in the Israeli market. As conclusively proven in our previous Pelikan research, Hamelin Group's commercial operations and exclusive distributorship network in Israel are executed directly through Kravitz, the primary military supplier that outfits the Israeli occupation army (IDF) with office equipment.Although Noki products are manufactured in Turkey (Adapazarı) and sold in the domestic market, because the entire ownership belongs to the French holding, 100% of the net profit pools into Hamelin's central treasury.When a consumer purchases a Noki sheet protector under the illusion of buying a "domestic brand," the money paid expands the financial pool of a parent company (Hamelin) that walks arm-in-arm with a military supplier (Kravitz) which equips the Israeli Ministry of Defense with millions of Shekels worth of gear, operates in illegal settlements, and logistically sustains the regime army (IDF). Due to this "merger in the same profit pool" (Umbrella Capital Affiliation), Noki constitutes a severe violation on the boycott list.
