Kordsa at the International Conference of the Polymer Processing Society

As the main sponsor of the International Conference of the Polymer Processing Society, which is one of the most important gatherings in the industry, Kordsa made two presentations. Kordsa’s presentations on two innovative technologies attracted great interest from the participants.

International Conference of the Polymer Processing Society, bringing together professionals in all aspects of Polymer Science and Technology from all around the world, is held in Çe?me, ?zmir between May 26-30, 2019. Kordsa undertook the main sponsorship of the international gathering which hosted major science people, engineers and designers as keynote speakers. With its 35th edition this year, the conference attracted many industry professionals.

As the main sponsor, Kordsa had the chance to share information with the participants on Kordsa’s ongoing projects of its tire reinforcement and composite technologies R&D Centers.

Kordsa’s presentation on “An Experimental Study For Determination of Convective Heat Transfer Coefficents On Yarn Production Line” conveyed information on the study about Kordsa’s heat transfer coefficients which can be used for the modelling of yarn production line cooling process.

Kordsa’s second presentation, with the title “New Hybrid Nano Additives for Thermoplastic Compounding: CVD Grown Carbon Fiber on Graphene” was about thermoplastic prepegs developped by Kordsa.

Kordsa showcases sustainability and innovation-driven solutions at Tire Technology Expo 2025

Kordsa, a global player in advanced material technologies, participated in Tire Technology Expo 2025, one of the leading trade fairs for the tire industry, held in Hannover, Germany. At the event, Kordsa highlighted its advancements in tire reinforcement technologies while sharing its vision of providing solutions to the global tire industry with the advantage of local production.

Kordsa recognized on CDP 2024 ‘Global A List’ for climate change and water

Kordsa, a subsidiary of Sabanc? Holding, has been recognized on the 2024 Global A List of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), one of the world’s most prestigious environmental reporting platforms, for both Climate Change and Water themes. This marks the first time Kordsa has achieved an A rating in both categories.

Engineering depth and diversity for composites

Airbond is the latest member of the British Textile Machinery Association (BTMA) to receive recognition for contributions to the composites industry. The engineering firm based in Pontypool, South Wales, has just received the Make UK Energy and Sustainability Award for its Lattice 3D Printing project.

Sustainable, lightweight, and sound absorbing: Polyester-based front trunk solution for BEVs

As car manufacturers look to further reduce their carbon footprint, Autoneum has developed an innovative front trunk solution for battery electric vehicles (BEVs), made entirely from polyester-based textile. The Ultra-Silent Frunk offers significant weight reduction, improved acoustic and thermal insulation, and uses up to 70 percent recycled material, supporting sustainable and efficient vehicle design. Autoneum, global technology leader in acoustic and thermal management for vehicles, has already received orders for the new frunk from three major OEMs in Asia and Europe to be built in three BEV models. Series production for two BEVs has been underway in China and Germany since last year.

Modern testing methods for raw cotton

The 38th International Cotton Conference Bremen will take place from 25 to 27 March 2026 at the Bremen Parliament. This conference has traditionally stood for in-depth expertise and international exchange. The program will focus on technical innovations, market trends, and regulatory frameworks across the entire value chain – from agriculture to the circular economy. With high-profile speakers, the conference is regarded as the key meeting point for the global cotton industry. Today’s focus: Cotton quality and testing methods.

Rieter responds to higher raw material prices

Global political and economic developments have been leading to rising raw material and energy costs for some time. The textile machinery industry is also affected by this trend. Rieter machines and components consist to a large extent of steel, copper, aluminum and electronics. These materials in particular have seen higher demand and higher prices in recent months.
