Sports & Leisure
In every part of our lives, our body functions are quite important. Kordsa is supporting medical prosthetics manufacturers with innovative and qualified materials solutions. Carbon prepregs and carbon fabrics are the main players of those application. Kordsa reinforcing prosthetics industry with its own weaving capability and developed resin systems.

Far Beyond a Research and
Development Center

Kordsa puts innovation and R&D at the center of its activities to develop value-added, distinctive, and sustainable technologies in every business line.

Composite Technologies Center of Excellence (CTCE) as Kordsa’s second R&D Center, established in cooperation with Sabancı University in 2016 with an investment of 30 Million USD. Approved by the Ministry of Science, Industry, and Technology, this Center registered as Türkiye’s 344th R&D center as of January 10, 2017. The CTCE is the first carbon woven fiber and prepreg manufacturer to support basic research to prototype part production in Türkiye, one of the few test centers in the World, and one of the few manufacturers in Europe.

With its mission of “Reinforcing Life”, Kordsa plays a value-added role in shaping the market with the technologies it develops with its R&D centers, where it makes innovations that make a difference.

By reinforcing 2 out of every 3 aircraft tires in the world, Kordsa now strengthens the interior, wing, fuselage, and engine of these aircraft with its competencies. The Company is ready to leverage its strong innovation perspective to fortify space.
