Setkim Kimya
We produce car care, marine, industrial and carpet cleaning chemicals at our plant in Tuzla, İstanbul. We sell them in Turkey under the Divortex, Ekinoks and Vortex brands and export them under the main Divortex brand.
Company history
-
2005
Setkim Kimya was established in 2005 with 100% domestic capital by two young investors. The company became the first in Turkey to manufacture brushless, touchless foam-cannon car wash products, and introduced that product group to the Turkish market.
-
2015
We soon carried the production knowledge built up in car care chemicals over into industrial general cleaning chemicals. In early 2015 the Divortex Marin range for yacht and boat care went into production, and in the same year we began development work on carpet cleaning and carpet care chemicals, which produced the Ekinoks brand.
-
2016
In early 2016 we reorganised the business. We renewed the logo, labels and packaging, modernised the production plant, and added e-commerce as a distribution channel.
-
Today we operate in three different cleaning and maintenance sectors under the Divortex Car Care, Divortex Marin, Divortex Industrial Cleaning, Ekinoks and Vortex Car Care brands. We are the market leader among corporate customers in the Turkish automotive sector and we export to Europe, the Middle East and Russia.
Our mission
To produce chemicals for car, marine, industrial and carpet care that make the job easier in the field and comply with environmental regulation. To supply them in Turkey and in export markets at a consistent quality, with technical support.
Our vision
To be the first-choice domestic producer in every sector we operate in. To grow our export share by keeping product development and production competitive in Europe, the Middle East and Russia.
Six principles that set how we work
These six principles set how we handle customer, employee, production and investor relations.
Customer focus
We start from the conditions the product will face in the field. We listen to the requirement and recommend the formulation and dosage the job calls for.
Value for people
Product quality is bounded by the knowledge of the team that makes it. That is why we invest in training and workplace safety.
Ethics and honesty
We are explicit about product content, performance claims and commercial terms. We do not promise what we cannot deliver.
Innovation
Product development runs in our own laboratory. Being the first company in Turkey to produce touchless foam wash products came out of that.
Responsible use of resources
We meter raw material, water and energy use. As loss falls, unit cost and waste fall with it.
Value for investors
We put profit back into production infrastructure and product development. We give investors open reporting and realistic growth targets.
