CW\u2019s editors are tracking the latest trends and developments in tooling, from the basics to new developments. This collection, presented by Composites One, features recent CW stories that detail a range of tooling technologies, processes and materials.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kordsa anticipates that its contribution will grow the company while opening up opportunities for knowledge and technology sharing domestically and internationally \u2014 Kordsa production facilities, capable of hosting Bpreg\u2019s mass production processes, will enable the global offering of Bpreg\u2019s product portfolio to Kordsa customers in various parts of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bpreg biocomposite solutions span different sectors such as automotive, mobility, marine vehicles, aviation, sports equipment and consumer products. The company combines products obtained from organic fibers with different polymers through a patented production technique, resulting in high-performance, sustainable and industrially user-friendly composite materials. The biocomposite materials to be produced through the Bpreg and Kordsa collaboration will also promise a natural appearance, making them suitable for aesthetic applications on external surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile we have been creating value for our customers for 50 years, we have also pioneered sustainable and purpose-driven development within the ecosystem. Through our collaborations in this ecosystem, we contribute to the economy of the country, including entrepreneurs, and we pave the way for new ideas,\u201d Kordsa CEO \u0130brahim \u00d6zg\u00fcr Y\u0131ld\u0131r\u0131m says. \u201cOur investment in Bpreg serves a dual purpose: supporting sustainability initiatives and fostering the global reach of Turkish technology. In the near future, products obtained from organic fibers, sourced from local producers in Turkey, will be made available to the customer portfolio through the synergy of Bpreg and Kordsa. This will open a new chapter in our mission to serve as a bridge between Turkey and the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
