IMCD Continues to Invest in Turkey in Its 25. Year
Delivering specialty chemicals and food ingredients in many fields from pharmaceuticals to cosmetics, from construction to paint and plastics, from textile to food, to approximately 50,000 customers in 54 countries across 6 continents, including Turkey, IMCD continues to grow in Turkey in its 25th year. Having been operating in Turkey for 17 years and providing over 2 thousand customers with a wide product portfolio supported by innovative formulations in line with the industry trends, the company continues to create added value for the economy while consolidating its leadership in its field with its recent company acquisitions.
Based in the Netherlands and listed on Amsterdam Euronext, the company sells, markets and distributes specialty chemicals and food ingredients to its suppliers and customers in EMEA, Asia-Pacific and America in line with the industry trends. IMCD, which also develops special formulations for its customers and suppliers in 55 laboratories in 54 countries, is also the world leader in its field with a turnover of 2.7 billion Euros.
Aylin Zakuto, Managing Director of IMCD Turkey said, “We are working to deliver the best to our customers in the most reliable way with our strong technical and commercial expert team of 3,500 people across the world. Therefore, our responsibility is huge. With the awareness of this responsibility, we cooperate with corporate manufacturers worldwide without ever compromising quality. We follow innovations, develop new formulations in laboratories within our organization and offer new solutions to the industry every day.
The basis of this approach, which makes IMCD a leading and pioneering company that responds to the needs of the 21st century, lies in looking forward and constantly improving. We reflected this philosophy on our logo and our motto in our 25th year. With our new brand promise, “Creating a World of Opportunity”, we say that we will offer brand new opportunities to all our business partners. The infinity in our logo also represents the unlimited opportunities we will offer to our customers”.
“We work with 2000 companies in Turkey”
Stating that they serve more than 2000 companies with 82 employees in Turkey, Zakuto said, “In our 25th year, we continue our journey as we expand our goals and realize new opportunities. As IMCD, we rely on the growth and potential in Turkey and maintain our investments. We consolidated our leadership by adding the personal care division of Ejder Kimya early this year to the growth investments we made over the past years. This acquisition was a solid step in strengthening IMCD Turkey’s footprint in the personal care market in line with IMCD’s global growth strategy.
Adding Ejder Kimya’s personal care market expertise and comprehensive portfolio to IMCD, we expanded the solutions that we offer to our customers and contributed to the growth of our suppliers in the personal care market. In addition to our paint and food laboratory operating in Istanbul, we will have the opportunity to provide a more comprehensive service to both our customers and our suppliers thanks to our personal care and construction chemicals laboratories, which we’ll be opening this year in autumn”.
