Kimpur, the polyurethane systems house with the largest production capacity and sales volume in the region, has made a significant strategic investment in line with its growth strategies. By establishing an 80% affiliated partnership structure with Kobe Polyurethane, Kimpur has expanded its portfolio with new niche product groups.
With more than 10 years of manufacturing experience, Kobe Polyurethane has an annual sales potential of 10,000 tons and stands out particularly with its product groups developed for specialized application areas. Approximately 55% of the company’s product portfolio consists of product segments that are not currently included in Kimpur’s existing product range. Through this strategic investment, Kimpur aims to continue its growth in new areas that complement its current product portfolio.
Export Strength and Operational Synergy
Kobe Polyurethane also has a strong international customer network, particularly in Europe and CIS countries, supported by an export ratio of 40%. Following the investment, Kobe Polyurethane will continue its operations under its existing brand structure. The company’s product groups will be manufactured at Kimpur facilities by leveraging Kimpur’s production infrastructure, operational strength, and R&D capabilities.
Through this collaboration, Kimpur aims to create significant synergies in production, procurement, and R&D. By utilizing the advantages of a shared production infrastructure and economies of scale, the company plans to enhance operational efficiency, establish a stronger structure in export markets, and support sustainable growth.
Management Strength and Technical Expertise to Be Preserved
As part of this strategic collaboration, it is aimed to preserve Kobe’s existing management structure and technical expertise. Nisso Behar, the founding partner and CEO of KOBE, who has more than 25 years of industry experience, will continue to play a key role in the company’s growth journey as Executive Partner and Vice Chairman of the Board.
Evaluating the strategic investment, Kimpur CEO Cavidan Karaca stated:
“As Kimpur, we support our growth strategy not only through capacity expansion, but also through investments that strengthen our product diversity and position us in different segments. Kobe Polyurethane’s expertise, particularly in niche product groups that are not included in Kimpur’s current portfolio, makes this collaboration strategically valuable for us. By combining Kimpur’s strong production infrastructure, R&D capabilities, and global operational experience with Kobe Polyurethane’s technical know-how, we aim to achieve sustainable and profitable growth both in Türkiye and international markets.”
Kimpur, which continues to strengthen its position in the global polyurethane industry through its recent investments, strong R&D infrastructure, and export-oriented growth strategy, aims to further increase its presence particularly in product segments developed for specialized application areas through this new partnership.
