Erdal Akova: "This exhibition will shed light on the years ahead for our sector"

Evaluating the organization and visitor profile of TURKCOMPOSITE 2026, Board Member and ESA Kompozit representative Erdal Akova joined our ChemEx World studio to discuss their R&D-driven manufacturing spanning defense to power transmission.

Noting that TURKCOMPOSITE 2026 was well-prepared with strong participant motivation and a solid visitor profile, Erdal Akova emphasized that the exhibition sets an encouraging direction for the industry’s future.

Explaining that ESA Kompozit produces R&D-intensive finished parts rather than raw materials, Akova highlighted precision projects developed from prototype to mass production—ranging from composite fuel tanks molded for tight compartments in armored personnel carriers and tanks to live-line maintenance systems used by TEİAŞ. Pointing out composites' unique ability to form complex shapes, he also advised university students attending the fair not to wait until graduation to follow industry events and engage directly with companies.
