What AB-Schomburg does

AB-SCHOMBURG Yapı Kimyasalları A.Ş. is a privately held Turkish specialty construction chemicals manufacturer founded in 2005, headquartered in Kadıköy/Istanbul with a production facility in the Çorlu 1st Organized Industrial Zone in Tekirdağ. The company designs, formulates, and produces a 20+ category portfolio spanning cement-based waterproofing, bituminous systems, polyurea and polyurethane membranes, epoxy flooring and coatings, polyurethane-cement heavy-duty floors, crystalline concrete admixtures, polyurethane and acrylic injection resins, swelling water-stop tapes, joint sealants, dilatation tapes, repair mortars, screeds, anchoring resins, carbon-fiber structural reinforcement systems, form oils, and curing compounds. Notable technical differentiators include ETAG W3-certified pure polyurea spray membrane (BAYCOTECH-122), drinking-water-approved crystalline admixture (BETOPROOF-C16) and epoxy (BAYCOPOX-3351-PW), CE-marked polyurethane-concrete flooring (BAYCODUR-PB), and TSE ISO 9001 quality certification at company level.

The company sells exclusively into the Turkish market through a direct enterprise field-sales organization: regional sales managers cover Istanbul Anatolia & South Marmara, Istanbul Europe & Thrace, and the Aegean/Mediterranean, supported by an in-house logistics function and factory-direct fulfillment. Revenue is generated entirely through one-time B2B product sales with quote-based project pricing — there is no subscription, recurring, or licensing component. Customers are construction contractors, specialty waterproofing applicators, infrastructure and municipal project owners (İSKİ, SASKİ water infrastructure; Marmaray TBM tunnels; Galata Bridge; Halkalı–3rd Airport Metro), industrial facility operators (Şişe Cam, Ankara Halk Ekmek, Ford service centers), hospitality and commercial real estate developers (Radisson Blu, Divan, Platform Merter, EMS Brand Vadi), and government entities. Demand generation relies on the corporate website, LinkedIn and Instagram presence, and a published portfolio of project references.
