FECC, Representing 1,600 Companies in Europe, Backs Turkchem Expo 2026

Turkey's chemical industry, which reached USD 31.9 billion in exports in 2025 and is the second-largest exporting sector, continues to strengthen its effectiveness in global markets while reinforcing international partnerships. The European Association of Chemical Distributors (FECC), representing approximately 1,600 companies in Europe, has joined the supporting organizations of TURKCHEM EXPO 2026, one of the most important international gatherings for the chemical sector in Turkey.

FECC, recognized as one of Europe's strongest representative platforms for the chemical distribution sector, represents a sector that employs approximately 30,000 people and has an annual sales volume of EUR 26 billion. The organization plays an important role in the European chemical ecosystem through its work on sustainability, product safety, responsible care practices, and efforts to increase the sector's competitiveness.

FECC's support is considered an important step in developing chemical trade between Turkey and Europe, creating new partnerships, and increasing inter-sectoral interaction. Through this cooperation, the aim is to further strengthen TURKCHEM EXPO 2026's visibility in the European chemical sector and increase international participation.

NEW BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES WILL TAKE SHAPE AT TURKCHEM EXPO
TURKCHEM EXPO 2026, covering a broad spectrum of the sector from chemical raw materials to specialty chemicals, from laboratory technologies to process equipment, is preparing to bring together manufacturers, distributors, technology providers, and purchasing professionals on the same platform.

Noting that TURKCHEM EXPO 2026 will contribute to establishing new export connections, developing regional partnerships, and strengthening Turkey's strategic position in the chemical sector, Ahmet Güler, founder and CEO of Artkim Group, stated the following:

"The chemical sector today is evaluated not only by its production capacity but also by its effectiveness in global supply chains. The fact that FECC, one of the most important representative organizations of the European chemical distribution sector, is among the organizations supporting TURKCHEM EXPO 2026 is an important development that further strengthens the international quality of our fair. Turkey is positioned as a natural trade bridge between Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia. With TURKCHEM EXPO 2026, we aim to bring together manufacturers, distributors, technology providers, and purchasing professionals from different geographies to create new business opportunities and long-term partnerships."

THE CHEMICAL BRIDGE EXTENDING FROM EUROPE TO ISTANBUL
TURKCHEM EXPO 2026, which has further strengthened its international quality with FECC's support, is expected to bring together sector professionals from different regions of the world, particularly Europe, in Istanbul. The fair stands out as an important platform where innovations shaping the sector's future, technological developments, and partnership opportunities will be addressed, while also contributing to strengthening Turkey's position as a regional chemical hub.

TURKCHEM EXPO 2026, which will unite all stakeholders of the chemical sector under one roof, will continue to serve as a strategic meeting point that contributes to establishing new business connections, developing international partnerships, and increasing the sector's global competitive strength.
