Setting the global standard in PVC stabilizers
History & Milestones
Akdeniz Chemson's story is one of two industrial lineages converging into a single global leader.
One history began in Newcastle in 1942, evolving into Chemson through the merger of Chemetall and Cookson. The other started in İzmir in 1976 with the founding of Akdeniz Kimya. United under OYAK Group in 2020, these two legacies became one company with one ambition.
