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. We develop products that support sustainability with our innovations that aim to deliver high performance with less energy.
As part of our commitment to developing sustainable leather chemicals that help to minimize the impact of leather production on the environment and promote a safer and healthier workplace for those involved in the industry, we have become a contributor to Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) and have become an approved partner of Eurofins | Chem MAP.
