Cosmo Kimya, Always Manages to Manufacture High Quality and Different Productions
Cosmo Kimya, which has been operating since its establishment in 2000, continues to serve the textile sector with its wide product range and successful technical service. The company is mentioned most often of its success with its product quality, R & D studies and the speed of service it provides.
‘The textile auxiliary chemicals’ produced by Cosmo Kimya are used in dyeing and washing machines, continuous and discontinuous systems (overflow, jet, HT, pad-batch, continuous bleaching, etc.) for finishing and dyeing of all types of fibers.
Cosmo Kimya has adopted the principle of providing the most suitable product by fully learning the pre-sales customers operating conditions and expectations and when necessary, it responds to expectations with different formulations. Cosmo Kimya targets to manufactures product which are not yet produced in Turkey in the coming years, and continues to grow in all circumstances in the market.
We interviewed with Derya Kandemir, General Manager of Cosmo Kimya in this month’s issue for our Tekstil Teknoloji magazine. Kandemir gave information about the development process of Cosmo Kimya and its activities and also advised the company’s owners.
Can you briefly mention the history of your company?
First, in 1999, we established our powder detergent factory with my business partner. After that, we changed our company’s name based on my experience in textile and called Cosmo Kimya. Cosmo Kimya has been operating since 2000. The ‘textile auxiliary chemicals which we produce are used for dyeing and finishing of all types of fibers in dyeing and washing machines, continuous and discontinuous systems.
What would you say if you were to evaluate your company among the companies that produce textile chemicals in our country?
If we based on local companies, I can say that we are in the top of the list in terms of volume and place. We are a company which has been known in textile sector for 19 years. We’re trying to do things that aren’t on the market. We are trying to move along this line because there are too many imitators in this sector. I think that we should raise awareness by manufacturing inimitable productions. For example; two or three firms in Turkey, make the optical production. We are one of the companies that make this production the best quality. We do not drop below a certain level in terms of quality and price in our production. Because a company has to produce as much as it can serve. We try to escape from the production of ordinary products in the market as much as we can. We always strive to provide better service, not to compromise on quality and to be more sensitive to the environment.
Cosmo Kimya continues to grow in the market every year and under all circumstances. What is the secret of this success? What advice would you give to the company’s owners?
Growth must be in direct proportion to shareholders’ equity. It is the financial management rather than sales that enlarges the company. If you going to be a good businessman in Turkey you have to be a good finance manager. You should follow the accounting of your own business. Companies that pay attention to this are continuing their journey in a good way. The company that strives not to borrow is always in a better position. We have managed to grow in the market by carefully proceeding in every crisis. Who control the finances correctly, is also maintains its reputation.
What are the reasons that your customers in the textile sector prefer you?
Mutual trust, quality standards and a consistent attitude in price, provide customers to choose us. The sale has four steps. These; service, quality, price and reliability. In addition, the fact that we have been known in the market for 19 years is one of our advantages. In addition, we are one of the companies that produce the fastest technical solution for our customers. We haven’t encountered problem we can’t solve. We continue to be a company that solves problems and provides standard products. Our customers prefer us for these reasons.
Are you planning to expand your product range? Can you tell us about your new projects?
We constantly follow international companies in terms of production of new products. Even though we think of them as our competitors, we cannot deny that they have very good infrastructures and a reputation in the market and they are the companies that push and develop R & D and push us. Likewise, we make our R & D investments. We are constantly trying to produce something new. There are three or four products not produced in Turkey. We prepared their R & D projects and a few of them were approved. We will produce products that are not produced until 2021 in our country. This product will be a product for the textile industry again. It will be used in all products like polyester, nylon.
