We present below for your information the text announced with the signature of Mr. İsmail Darcan, General Manager of Boytek Reçine, concerning the regrettable accident that occurred on April 12, 2017, at the Boytek Reçine company, which is one of our sector members and also a board member of the Composite Industrialists Association, one of our Federation's member associations.
"Dear Business Partners,
Regarding the situation that occurred on 12/04/2017 at our unsaturated polyester resin production facilities located in Çerkezköy Organized Industrial Zone, which saddened us all; in one of the 7 reactors we use in this facility within our company, an uncontrolled increase in heat occurred due to technical reasons, and consequently, smoke started to spread into the environment. Our company's foamed (hot foam) extinguishing system was activated, and the Çerkezköy Organized Industrial Zone Fire Department was notified, and water cooling was applied to the reactor walls to control the spread of heat and smoke. The cooling process and the spread of smoke continued between 06.30-11.30.
One of our company's main principles is to always ensure safety and continuity. We would like to inform you that we will continue our service with uninterrupted production in our additional facilities so that our customers and dealers are not affected by this situation.
In this context, we would like to extend our thanks especially to Tekirdağ Governorship, Çerkezköy and Kapaklı District Governorates, Mayors of Tekirdağ and Çerkezköy, Tekirdağ Provincial Directorate of Environment and Urbanization, Tekirdağ Fire Department, Çerkezköy Organized Industrial Zone Fire Brigade Group, Regional Police Organization, AFAD and the managers and employees of Çerkezköy Organized Industrial Zone, our facility's neighbors and the people of Çerkezköy for being with us.
Especially to the members of the Boytek family who expressed their indignation regarding the deliberate and exaggerated news published in the press on this matter and who wholeheartedly strove to get their facilities operational again, and to our dealers, suppliers, customers, friends, and loved ones who did not withhold their well wishes and who made us feel their trust and friendship from both within the country and abroad, we offer our gratitude.
Sincerely."
