POLITEM was established in 2006 on the foundation of former family business in textile fiber manufacturing in order to produce PA feedstocks by using post-industrial textile wastes. While continuing its journey as being reliable recycled material supplier in both domestic and export markets, its trading channel also expanded by being local distributor of highly reputable global chemical companies within years.

Through a visionary strategy in order to be a fully integrated sustainable compound manufacturer, the desicion to invest in the production of engineering plastic compounds took place at the end of 2013. Thereby a challenging journey started at the new factory located in Çerkezköy- Tekirdağ in 2015.

The production capacity being 18000 tons/year in 2015 has increased incrementally year by year. Following the annual volume of 30000 tons/year reached in 2018, POLITEM has turned into a changemaker company providing service through three main business channels, namely recycling, compounding and trading, in its 12000 square meters of facility with 60,000 tons/year production capacity by 2021.

Along with our new investments in production lines with a capacity of 15000 tons/year dedicated to PP compounding specifically, we also aim to increase our existing PP market share by the beginning of 2022.

With the strong expertise of our team, we lead numerous projects ranging from standard commercial products to customized compounding & applications so as to meet the requirements of diverse industrial sectors.
