Established in 1964 by the Bitlis Family, Polisan Kimya Sanayi A.Ş. is one of the pioneers of Turkey’s chemical sector. Combining an innovative production approach with environmentally responsible solutions and uncompromising quality standards, we distinguish ourselves in the market and help shape the industry through our advanced R&D capabilities.
Since 2012, Polisan Kimya has been operating under Polisan Holding, a publicly traded company on Borsa İstanbul. With a track record of delivering many firsts to both domestic and international markets, we remain committed to creating high added value for the Turkish economy and society through quality products and services.
Polisan Kimya was the first company in Turkey to produce formaldehyde resins and water-based adhesives. Today, we specialize in the manufacturing of formaldehyde and urea resins, holding TÜV-certified ISO 9001 Quality Management System and ISO 14001 Environmental Management System credentials.
As the first producer of formaldehyde and resin binders in Turkey—critical raw materials for wood-based panels such as particleboard, paper impregnation, MDF, and plywood—Polisan Kimya is among the leading suppliers to the wood-based panel industry. Turkey ranks as the 2nd largest producer in Europe and 5th globally in this sector, and we are proud to contribute to this standing as a trusted partner to the industry.
To meet growing capacity requirements and ensure efficient access to raw materials, our production facility relocated from Kağıthane to Dilovası in 1977. Since then, we have continued to expand through strategic technology investments. The modernization program implemented between 2014 and 2015 enabled the adoption of environmentally sustainable, high-efficiency production processes.
In 2021, we launched an advanced resin plant investment, which became operational in November 2022. This investment increased our annual formaldehyde and resin production capacity to 150,000 tons. Designed in line with Industry 4.0 principles, the plant features energy-efficient, low-emission reactors capable of producing a wide range of resin formulations. Our ongoing digital transformation efforts help improve resource utilization, enhance operational efficiency, and reinforce our commitment to sustainable manufacturing.
As of 2024, Polisan Kimya has introduced specialty resins tailored for the foundry and textile industries, gaining market recognition and supporting our growth. Guided by our robust R&D foundation, we remain dedicated to developing sustainable, eco-friendly, and innovative chemical solutions. With more than half a century of industry expertise, high production standards, and a culture of continuous improvement, Polisan Kimya continues to lead and inspire progress in the chemical industry.
