What Polser does

Polser A.Ş. is a Turkish industrial manufacturer specializing in fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP), glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), and glass-reinforced polyester (CTP) composite panels and sheets, headquartered in the Atatürk Organized Industrial Zone in Çiğli, İzmir. Founded in 1980 by Kadir Cinar as a small cast polymer manufacturer, the company pivoted into corrugated FRP sheet production in 1986 and today operates with 501-1,000 employees producing an 18+ SKU portfolio across seven end-market verticals: construction, cooling towers, agriculture and livestock, hygiene/healthcare, food processing, automotive (including RV manufacturing), and highway/advertising. Manufacturing is based on multiple composite molding techniques including pultrusion, BMC, SMC, roving, and infusion methods, producing corrugated sheets, flat panels, sandwich panels, and transparent variants. The company differentiates through proprietary technologies, most notably Polser AMB (a polymer-based antimicrobial nanotechnology destroying 99.999% of microorganisms, registered with the EU Biocidal Products Directive and Turkey's Ministry of Health) and Firepan (BS3d0 EN 13501 certified fire-resistant sheets with 20 minutes of fire resistance).

Polser generates revenue through one-time sales of manufactured composite panels and sheets, with a sales-led, export-heavy go-to-market model. The company exports 70% of its production to over 70 countries spanning Europe, Central Asia, the Middle East, Africa, the Americas, and Oceania, while serving the domestic Turkish market directly from its Izmir headquarters. Distribution is handled through international export distributor networks and direct sales, supported by active participation in global trade fairs (IAA Hannover, Saudi Infrastructure Expo, SIB Casablanca) and a multi-language corporate website. The company maintains certifications from TÜV SÜD, ASTM, MFPA, EXOVA, BRE, Bureau Veritas, ISO 9001, TSE, and DIN, and operates sub-brands including Frigoser (targeting US RV manufacturers and cold chain logistics) and the Polser AMB hygienic panel line. The legal entity operates as POLSER Kompozit Ürünler Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş., a privately held corporation under the Çınar Group of Companies conglomerate.

Core offering

Polser manufactures and sells fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP/GRP/CTP) composite panels and corrugated sheets produced by combining unsaturated polyester-based resin with glass fiber via pultrusion, BMC, SMC, roving, and infusion molding techniques. The product portfolio spans construction, cooling tower, agriculture/livestock, hygiene/health, food, automotive, and highway/advertising applications, with proprietary variants including fire-resistant Firepan, antimicrobial Polser AMB, and UV-resistant FIBRALAM. Approximately 70% of production is exported to more than 70 countries.

Product overview

Polser is a world-leading manufacturer of FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) / GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) / CTP (Cam Takviyeli Plastik - Glass Reinforced Polyester) composite panels and sheets. The product portfolio consists of a core range of GRP sheet and panel products organized across seven industry verticals: Construction Industry (DURADECK, DURASER, DECOSER, FIBRALAM, ISOBOARD, ISOLITE, DECOLITE, DURAWIND, AEROPLAN, DURAPAN, FIREPAN, ARMORPAN, KAMUFLAM, FIBERWALL), Cooling Tower Industry (DURASER, FIREPAN), Agriculture & Livestock Industry (DURASER, DECOSER, SERALAM, ISOBOARD, DURAPAN), Hygiene Industry (DECOSER, ISOBOARD), Food Industry (DECOSER, ISOBOARD), Automotive Industry (DECOSER, FRIGOSER, ISOBOARD, CTP Door Panels), and Highway/Advertising Industry (FRIGOSER, FIBERSIGN). The product line is differentiated by form factor (corrugated sheets, flat sheets, sandwich panels), properties (transparent, fire-resistant, antimicrobial, insulated), and industrial application. A key proprietary technology is Polser AMB, a nanoparticle-based antimicrobial coating that makes GRP panels 99.999% hygienic, registered with EU and Turkish health authorities.
