Kordsa's Kratos Brand Now Under Afyon Çimento

Sabancı Holding Materials Technologies Group has completed a strategic reorganisation in the building materials sector.

Kratos construction solutions, developed by Kordsa in 2014, transferred to Afyon Çimento, a subsidiary of Çimsa, as of 1 October 2025. With this move, Kordsa will focus its operations on tyre reinforcement and composite technologies, while the Kratos brand will be integrated into Afyon Çimento's building materials portfolio and reach more than 70 countries through Çimsa's global sales network.

Çimsa Chief Executive Officer Umut Zenar stated that the acquisition is part of the company's sustainable growth strategy, saying, "With Kratos joining us, we are expanding our product portfolio with a focus on sustainability and technology. This step will enable Afyon Çimento and Çimsa to reach a stronger position in global markets."

Kordsa Chief Executive Officer Ergun Hepvar said, "Kratos is an innovation example born from an intra-corporate entrepreneurship model and has become a trusted brand in 25 countries today. We believe this transition will make significant contributions to Sabancı Group's materials technologies vision."

The Kratos brand, which has provided innovative fibre reinforcement solutions for the construction sector since 2014, is known for its synthetic fibre products that enhance concrete performance in infrastructure, superstructure and mining projects. Kratos is expected to be positioned in a broader market within Afyon Çimento with on-site reinforcement solutions.
