Chemical Industry and Its Awards

Dear Turkchem Readers, According to data from the Istanbul Exporters Association of Chemical Substances and Products (İKMİB), the chemical sector maintained its second position in exports in April. Chemical exports, which showed growth compared to the previous year, were directed most to Spain, followed by the United States in second place and Italy in third place. The "İKMİB Stars of Exports Award Ceremony" and "R&D Project Market Awards," both highly important for the chemical sector, have found their recipients. You can access information about the awarded companies and details in our "News" section. We have added a new section titled "Nobel Prize" to our magazine. In this section, prepared by our editor Çağla Köksal, you can find excerpts from the lives of our award-winning scientists. In this issue, we conducted a very enjoyable interview with Serdar Ünsal, General Manager of Teknokon Makina. You can access our interview, which we believe you will read with interest, starting on page 28. With technical articles, sectoral reports, analysis pieces and news from the sector filling our colorful pages, it is time to leave you to them… Wishing you a period filled with rewarding and wonderful events. Warm regards.         ,       Prepared by: Serap Kaptan
