What Beşler Camelyafı does
Beşler Camelyafı, also operating as Beşler Glassfiber, is a Turkish industrial glass fiber manufacturer headquartered in Kayseri, Turkey. The company operates as the glass fiber production division of Beşler Tekstil San. ve Tic. A.Ş., a privately-held family-founded Turkish industrial conglomerate (A.Ş. structure) established in 1997 that also produces cotton yarn (since founding) and mineral wool (since 2007, scaled to 120,000 tons/year capacity). Beşler Camelyafı launched commercial glass fiber production in April 2022 and operates Turkey's only boron-free ECR (Environmental Corrosion Resistant) glass fiber line. Its product portfolio spans chopped strands (TPA for polyamide reinforcement, TPP for polypropylene reinforcement, LFD-2400 chopped direct roving), direct roving (FW for filament winding, WE for weaving, PT for pultrusion, LFT for long fiber thermoplastics), and assembled roving (SP for spray-up, HL for head liners, CR for pipe-chopping, TS for translucent sheets, CC for centrifugal casting, PR for panels, SMC for sheet moulding compound).
The company's production is anchored by Turkey's first Convective Glass Melter (CGM) furnace employing oxy-gas combustion technology, an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly borosilicate-free manufacturing architecture. The first furnace is operational at 60,000 tons/year capacity on an 85,000 m² manufacturing site in İncesu Organized Industrial Zone, with a second furnace planned that would bring total capacity to 120,000 tons/year. The company holds an extensive international certification stack including TSE ISO 9001/14001/45001/50001 (quality, environmental, OHS, energy management), two DNV Type Approval certificates (TAK00002GV and TAK00002GU) covering maritime and offshore applications, ROHS compliance for SMC/TPA/TPP product lines, and CE Certificates of Conformity (887001, 887002, 887003).
The business runs a direct B2B sales model with no distribution intermediaries, selling hardware-grade glass fiber reinforcement products to industrial composite manufacturers through field and inside sales teams. Pricing is contract-negotiated and not publicly disclosed. Marketing and customer acquisition are driven primarily through participation in major international composites exhibitions—including JEC WORLD 2023 (Paris) and JEC WORLD 2025 (Paris, March 4-6, 2025), plus MEET4COMPOSITE 2024 (Istanbul, October 10-12, 2024)—supplemented by a bilingual Turkish-English corporate website and a 2025/2026 digital product catalog with downloadable technical specification sheets. The parent company is regularly listed in the Istanbul Chamber of Industry's "Turkey's Second Top 500 Industrial Enterprises" ranking.

Product offeringCore offering
Beşler Camelyafı manufactures boron-free ECR glass fiber products for the composite reinforcement industry. The product portfolio includes chopped strands (for polyamide and polypropylene reinforcement), direct rovings (for filament winding, weaving, pultrusion, and long fiber thermoplastic applications), and assembled rovings (for spray-up, head liner, pipe-chopping, translucent sheet, centrifugal casting, panel, and SMC applications). All products are produced at the İncesu Organized Industrial Zone facility in Kayseri, Turkey, using a proprietary Convective Glass Melter (CGM) furnace and oxy-gas combustion technology.
Product overview
Beşler Glassfiber produces a comprehensive portfolio of ECR (boron-free, environmentally friendly) glass fiber products for the composite industry. The product range consists of three main categories: Chopped Strands (TPA for PA reinforcement, TPP for PP reinforcement, LFD-2400 chopped direct roving), Direct Roving (FW for filament winding, WE for weaving, PT for pultrusion, LFT for long fiber thermoplastics), and Assembled Roving (SP for spray up, HL for head liners, CR for pipe-chopping, TS for translucent sheets, CC for centrifugal casting, PR for panels, SMC for sheet moulding compound). All products feature boron-free ECR glass composition with high chemical and mechanical resistance, serving construction, infrastructure, automotive, defense industry, and renewable energy sectors.

Beşler Camelyafı competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Johns Manville (Berkshire Hathaway): US-based manufacturer of glass fiber reinforcements, nonwovens, and insulation materials serving construction, transportation, and industrial markets. Comparable in producing chopped strands and rovings for composite applications and serving similar construction/infrastructure end-markets.
- Jushi Group: World's largest fiberglass manufacturer with ~2 million tons/year of capacity across E-glass and ECR-glass rovings and chopped strands. Directly comparable in product line (chopped strands for PA/PP reinforcement, direct roving for wind/automotive) but at global megascale versus Beşler's 60,000 tons/year.
- Taishan Fiberglass: Chinese glass fiber manufacturer with large-scale production of rovings, mats, and chopped strands serving global composites, wind, and transportation markets. Comparable in serving wind energy and automotive composite manufacturers with E-glass reinforcements.
- Nippon Electric Glass (NEG): Japanese specialty glass manufacturer with a glass fiber reinforcement business producing chopped strands and rovings for thermoplastics and thermosets. Comparable in producing ECR-type glass fibers for automotive and electronics composite applications.
- Chongqing Polycomp International (CPIC): Major Chinese glass fiber producer with global reach across E-glass rovings, chopped strands, and mats for transportation, construction, and wind. Comparable in core glass fiber product families and end-market focus on automotive lightweighting and wind energy.
- Owens Corning: Global leader in glass fiber reinforcements and composite materials with multi-million-ton annual capacity across chopped strands, rovings, and mats. Comparable as the dominant benchmark in Beşler's exact product category, though operating at vastly larger scale and global footprint.
- Saint-Gobain Vetrotex: European glass fiber reinforcement producer within Saint-Gobain's High Performance Materials division, supplying chopped strands, rovings, and mats to composite manufacturers. Comparable in serving European composites customers with similar reinforcement product families.
Direct peers
- AGY Holding: US-based specialty glass fiber producer focused on high-performance yarns, rovings, and chopped strands for aerospace, defense, and electronics. Comparable as a smaller-scale specialty competitor in glass fiber reinforcements, particularly in boron-free and ECR-type chemistries.
- 3B (Braj Binani Group / Go Glass): European glass fiber reinforcement producer specializing in chopped strands, rovings, and mats for thermoplastics and wind energy. Comparable as a regional specialty glass fiber producer with similar product families and ECR/E-glass chemistries.
Regional players
- Şişecam (Sisecam Group): Turkish industrial conglomerate with glass manufacturing operations, including flat glass, glassware, and glass fiber raw materials. Comparable as a fellow Turkish-based glass producer with significant scale and a domestic supply-chain relationship to the country's composites industry.
