Since 2007, we are systematically working under our R&D Center’s roof. Kordsa R&D Center collaborates with universities both in Turkey and abroad to maintain its technology leadership. Technology licensing is one of our main subjects since ‘open innovation’ concept is the baseline of our R&D approach. Today, our opponents are willing to construct their products by using Kordsa technology. These days, we are working on its economic model.

The number of new products we offer to the market exceeded 12 since 2008. Our portfolio of international patent applications has reached to 236. This year we climbed four ranks in Turkish Patent League and have the honor of taking the sixth place in the first six months of 2015. Composite materials are the next frontier for us.
