History

Boytek is the leading company in the Turkish composites industry in the production of high quality unsaturated polyester resins, vinyl ester resins, gelcoats and pigment pastes. Founded in 1978, Boytek is today a pioneering organisation leading the sector with the widest product range.

Boytek, which produced alkyd and unsaturated polyester resins in the years it was founded, has focused only on the production of unsaturated polyester resins since 1982. By time, gelcoat types, pigment pastes and vinyl ester resin types were added to the product range. The increase in product diversity has enabled the needs of different industries producing composite materials to be met on a wider scale. This development has increased the demand for Boytek products.

In order to meet the ever-increasing demand of the composite industry, Boytek started its second production facility in Çerkezköy/Tekirdağ in 1999.

In 2009, Boytek doubled its capacity in unsaturated polyester resins by commissioning its Tuzla/Istanbul facility.

Having succeeded in carrying its success in Turkey to the international arena, Boytek is today in a position to compete with famous brands on a global scale. Many countries from Europe to the Middle East and from Africa to Central Asia prefer Boytek products.

Boytek successfully carries out the authorised representation of Owens Corning, the world’s distinguished brand in glass fiber products, Ineos vinyl ester resins and many other brands in Turkey.

In 2012, Boytek decided to invest in the tourism sector with the Gorrion Hotel brand and opened its doors on 14 April 2014 with 252 rooms, meeting rooms with a total area of 2000 m2, restaurants, SPA centre, and many other units on the factory land in Yenibosna where Boytek brand was born.
