Chemistry for a better future.
Since 1993, we have been developing environmentally sensitive and innovative solutions together with our stakeholders in the textile industry.
By restructuring in 2017, we started to operate in sectors other than textiles. We are now positioning ourselves as an inclusive solution partner for not only textiles but also all sectors that chemistry comes into contact with, producing solutions together with its stakeholders in the field of chemistry.
From 1993 to present
Just to mention our important achievements in this journey towards the better…
