Kordsa inaugurated its additional polyester line in Turkey with an investment of US$ 18 million in order to meet the increasing demand in the field.
Kordsa, providing reinforcement technologies to the global market, had announced a polyester yarn investment in both Indonesia and Turkey which would enable 7,000 tons of additional capacity in each plant in 2016.
Now, Kordsa’s US$ 18 million worth investment in İzmit became operational. With this new line, equipped with the latest technology, a new generation of polyester yarn products with higher resiliency and better dimensional stability will be produced in addition to the standard HMLS polyester yarn.
Innovation strength
Kordsa Chairman Cenk Alper, wishing the line to be beneficial for Kordsa and the Sabancı Group, underlined that Kordsa’s innovation strength is an inspiration for Sabancı Group. “When we started our journey in 1973, we had big dreams and big goals.
