What Kompozit Sanayicileri Derneği does

Kompozit Sanayicileri Derneği (TCMA — Turkish Composite Manufacturers Association) is a non-profit industry association founded on May 18, 2005 and headquartered in Kurtköy-Pendik, Istanbul. It represents raw material suppliers, semi-finished and intermediate product producers, finished composite product manufacturers, technology and equipment providers, and academic institutions active in the Turkish composite materials industry. The organization operates under the supervision of TOBB (Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey) per Law No. 5174.

The association's principal product is TURK KOMPOZIT, a biennial composites industry trade show and summit first organized in 2013 and most recently held 6–8 October 2022 at Lütfi Kırdar International Convention and Exhibition Center in Istanbul. The event program covers technical and commercial presentations, product demonstrations, a Composites Career Days segment, a Start-Up Booster section for early-stage firms, a Composites Awards ceremony, and a Composites Product Planet showcase. The 2019 edition attracted 102 exhibitors, 52 speakers, 9 sessions, and 4,567 visitors from 7 countries; the 2022 edition targeted 88 exhibition stands representing approximately 200 brands.

Revenue is generated primarily through exhibition booth rentals, multi-tier event sponsorships (Main, Platinum, Silver, and item-specific such as visitor bag, name badge, gala cocktail), and participation/registration fees from exhibitors and visitors. Distribution is event-driven, supplemented by social media, industry media partnerships (JEC Composites Magazine, Composites Turkey, Composites Magazine Italy), international supporting-organization relationships (JEC Group, EUCIA, AVK, Assocompositi), and TOBB's network. The association is supported operationally by an event organizing partner (Sereks Fuarcılık) and operates with a lean staff of 8 employees.

Direct peers

• Assocompositi: Italian composites industry association organizing industry events and representing Italian composites manufacturers. A direct peer as a national composites industry body; also a supporting organization of TURK KOMPOZIT, demonstrating ecosystem overlap.
• American Composites Manufacturers Association (ACMA): US composites industry trade association that co-organizes CAMX (the largest North American composites trade show). A direct peer in mission and operating model (membership association running a major composites trade event), serving as a comparable regional analog.
• JEC Group: Organizes JEC World, the largest global composites trade show and summit, along with regional events. Directly comparable as a composites industry association and event organizer serving manufacturers, raw material suppliers, and end-users, with a much larger international scope than TURK KOMPOZIT.
• International Composites Summit: International composites industry event and supporting organization. Direct peer as a composites-focused industry summit; partnered with TURK KOMPOZIT, indicating ecosystem overlap rather than head-to-head competition.
• AVK (Industrievereinigung Verstärkte Kunststoffe): German composites industry association that organizes industry events and represents the same value chain (resins, fibers, manufacturers, academia). Listed as a supporting organization of TURK KOMPOZIT and serves as the primary national composites association in Germany.

Broad incumbents

• Easyfairs: European trade show organizer operating across multiple industrial verticals. Broader incumbent competing for venue slots, exhibitor marketing budgets, and association partnerships in the same Turkey/Europe geography; a potential strategic partner or competitor depending on entry into composites.
• Messe Stuttgart (Composites Europe / Composites for Europe): Major European trade fair organizer that has run Composites Europe events. A broader incumbent in the trade show space with much greater scale and venue infrastructure than TURK KOMPOZIT, targeting an overlapping exhibitor base.
• Hannover Fairs International (Deutsche Messe): Global trade fair operator running large industrial and technology expos (e.g., HANNOVER MESSE). Comparable as a large-scale venue and trade show operator with capability to enter niche industrial verticals like composites, representing both competitive and partnership potential.
• EUCIA (European Composites Industry Association): Pan-European composites industry umbrella organization representing the broader European composites sector. Comparable as a higher-tier industry association that TURK KOMPOZIT partners with; functions as a regional incumbent the association can align with rather than directly compete against.

Regional players

• Composites UK: UK composites industry trade association running industry events and member programs. Comparable as a national composites association; operates in a different geography (UK) but with the same member and trade show model.
