Kordsa

Kordsa, with the slogan "We are inspired to reinforce life," traces its success back to 1973 when Sabancı Holding made an investment in Izmit to produce tire cord fabric. Over the years, the company has not only become a market leader in Turkey but has also gained a prominent position in global markets. This achievement can be attributed to Kordsa's extensive knowledge of reinforcement materials and processes, strong R&D practices, open innovative approach, and strategic perspective in the tire reinforcement industry. Kordsa has earned global recognition as "The Reinforcer," leveraging its technology and market leadership, extensive global footprint, and nearly 49 years of experience in reinforcement technologies. Notably, the company has ventured into new business domains, applying its tire reinforcement expertise to the construction and composite reinforcement industries. Furthermore, in 2014, Kordsa established the Composite Technologies Center of Excellence in Technopark Istanbul. This center, operational since 2016 in collaboration with Sabancı University, fosters a cooperative model where lecturers, Ph.D. students, and Kordsa employees work together under the same roof, embodying the concept of open innovation. Based in Turkey, Kordsa currently has over 5000 global employees dedicated to delivering reinforcement technologies worldwide. Although specific details about its last investment and investors are not available, Kordsa's established position in the industry and its commitment to innovation make it an intriguing prospect for potential investors and venture capitalists.
