About DEBAĞ Kimya
Munir Ergun Uktu, Manager at DEBAĞ KİMYA states “With developing technology, everything is changing and developing rapidly. Being a visionary company means giving direction to this change rather than just adapting to it. As DEBAĞ, we have been leading this process since our establishment in 1959.
With our innovation power, we not only develop high-quality and innovative products, but also tell our customers about the value these products add to their leather.
In product selection, the impact of product performance on energy and water savings, and therefore on sustainability, is a criterion that we attach particular importance to. We center sustainability in all our activities and focus on minimizing our carbon footprint in our processes.
