Literatür Kimya was established to produce thermoset molding compositions for the composite sector in 2003, continues its activities on an open area of 10.000 m2 and a closed area of 3.000 m2 in Balıkesir Organized Industrial Zone. (BMC: Bulk Molding Compound&SMC: Sheet Molding Compound) Due to the increasing demand with the developing sector, Literatür Kimya decided to supply finished products under the brand of customers’ companies. As project basis and tooling partner, Literatür invested on hydraulic presses and thermoset injection machines, with 11 hydraulic presses and 2 thermoset injections in a range from 80 tons to 800 tons, Literatür Kimya is one of the leading companies in the composite industry that relieves your production load and your reliable, solution partner.
Literatür Kimya

In August 2019, a new thermoset compound material trails are done, CF-SMC (Carbon Fibre-SMC). This is the first trial production in Turkey and Literatür is planning to complete the trials and analysis of Epoxy Carbon SMC, Urethane Carbon SMC, Vinyl Ester Carbon SMC raw materials and will be at the service of its customers until the end of 2019.
