The ???ECAM Group was founded in 1935 by Isbank, upon the directives of the founder of modern Turkey, Atatürk. Today, the Group is a leading global company with its four main businesses: Flat Glass, Glassware, Glass Packaging and Chemicals.

The management and sales offices of Soda Sanayii are located at the Istanbul Is Kuleleri (Business towers), while its production activities take place at its Mersin plant, on a 750-acre site.
With its production capacity, product quality, and widespread and effective marketing network, Soda Sanayii is a reliable supplier that meets not only Turkey’s demand, but also makes Turkey an international player in the market.
Soda Sanayii was established in 1969, initially with a soda plant, while Kromsan Plant joined the Group in 1982. The Kromsan and soda plants produce chemicals that are used as raw materials in more than 100 products, from glass to detergents, from the chemical industry to the leather and pharmaceutical sectors.
With its extensive Research and Development activities, spanning over 30 years, the chemicals group of Sisecam has an important role in developing products that are both environmentally sound and have high added value.
The Soda Plant obtains the basic raw materials – limestone and brine – from its own resources and produces light and dense soda ash, refined sodium bicarbonate and sodium silicate by adding value to these natural resources with its advanced technology.
The Kromsan Plant produces sodium dichromate, basic chromium sulphate, chromic acid and sodium sulphate with environmentally friendly production technologies of the highest standard.
Through a partnership with Cromital which is a leading production and distribution company in Italy and by establishing sales organizations and warehouses in Shanghai and Guangzhou/China, Kromsan Plant has deepened its coverage in basic chromium sulphate markets.
Both the Soda and Kromsan plants possess ISO 9001 2000 quality management systems certificates together with ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 Quality Certificates, while satisfying the product specifications of the Turkish Standards Institute.
