EKSOY with its outrageous growth in the world's textile market since 1981 took another big step in 1997. KIMSOY DYESTUFF CORP., the joint venture company of EKSOY and KYUNG-IN Synthetic Corp., Korean world leader Dyestuff Company, started reactive dyestuff production at Adana Organized Industry Zone. Since 1992 EKSOY has been the sole Turkish distributor of Synozol dyestuff of KYUNG-IN which is the largest Korean manufacturer of synthetic dyestuffs.

The first part of the plant cost 4,000,000 USD and 70 % of the machinery and equipment supplied from Turkey. From very early stages of the production, KIMSOY project has been managed by a Korean-Turkish Engineering team. The system has been designed to make all the synthesis as efficiently as possible. For this reason, the latest technology for dyestuff industry was installed at the Adana Plant. Especially the 350 kg/hour capacity nozzle type Spray Dryer is one of the biggest ones used in Turkey. The 27 m height tower was constructed in two months by Turkish and Korean engineers. With the current machinery, KIMSOY Dyestuff Corp., has the capacity of 200 tons/month of various dyestuffs.

With year 2001, KIMSOY started a new investment to build up a new line for the production of new bifunctional colors. Kimsoline Reactive Dyes & Kimsolene Disperse dyes are out to market in Turkey and at international markets since 1998. Kimsoy products are distributed to the customers through EKSOY's agents. In other words, EKSOY's sale agents become automatically agents of KIMSOY.
