Basf Yks

The company BASF YKS in Turkey was primarily a manufacturing facility. It also encompassed sales and distribution operations, making it both a manufacturer and a trader of construction chemicals.

Enterprise Introduction:

BASF YKS, which stood for BASF Yapı Kimyasalları Sanayi in Turkey, was the local entity for BASF's global Construction Chemicals division. It was a significant player in the Turkish construction market, known for producing and supplying advanced chemical solutions for various construction projects. Its product portfolio typically included high-performance concrete admixtures, cementitious repair mortars, industrial and decorative flooring systems, waterproofing solutions, and sealants. The company served a wide range of customers, from ready-mix concrete producers and precast manufacturers to contractors and applicators, providing products designed to enhance the durability, performance, and aesthetics of structures.

Important Update:

In 2020, BASF divested its entire global Construction Chemicals business. Consequently, the entity formerly known as BASF YKS in Turkey is no longer part of BASF. It now operates under new ownership as part of the MBCC Group, and its primary brand is Master Builders Solutions. Therefore, while historically a factory and trader under BASF, it is now an independent entity separate from BASF.
