Ali Birtan Erdoğan: "We Must Focus on Producing Advanced Composites"

Joining our ChemEx World studio at TURKCOMPOSITE 2026, Ece Boya Kimya General Manager Ali Birtan Erdoğan discussed the exhibition’s global top-three target, 43 years of R&D heritage, and his message to young engineers.

Highlighting the strong international turnout at TURKCOMPOSITE 2026, Ali Birtan Erdoğan noted that the partnership between the Turkish Composites Manufacturers Association and CNG created major synergy. He emphasized that this momentum will place the event among the world’s top three composites exhibitions by 2030, or 2032 at the latest.

Pointing to Ece Boya Kimya’s 43 years in the industry with its Erco brand, Erdoğan stated that their R&D center drives TÜBİTAK and EU projects to expand material diversity and value-added production in Türkiye. Addressing young engineers, he urged them to strengthen university–industry ties, focus on producing advanced composites not yet manufactured locally, and leverage AI-driven design.
