Omya
Turkey has begun distributing SICIT Group's high-performance, bio-based
additives for plaster and plasterboard applications, effective January 2026.
The agreement builds on a long-standing global partnership between the two
companies and brings SICIT's internationally recognized portfolio closer to
Turkish manufacturers through Omya's established local presence and technical
expertise.
Turkey's
construction sector is one of the fastest-growing in the region, with rising
demand for high-performance, resource-efficient gypsum-based materials. This
new arrangement is designed to meet that demand by combining SICIT's
specialized additive technologies with Omya's deep market knowledge and
application support capabilities.
Under
the agreement, Omya Turkey will distribute SICIT's full range of protein
hydrolysate-based additives valued across international markets for their
ability to improve fluidity, control setting times, enhance mechanical
performance, and increase application efficiency in gypsum-based systems.
“This expansion
of our partnership with SICIT reflects our shared commitment to delivering
innovative, sustainable solutions for the construction industry. By combining
SICIT’s advanced additive technologies with Omya’s strong market presence and
technical expertise, we will create measurable value for manufacturers across
the region,” said David Grassini, Global Key Principal Director, Omya.
“Our enhanced
partnership with Omya reinforces SICIT’s growth trajectory in high-value
construction applications and expands our footprint in a dynamic, strategically
important market. Our technologies are designed not only to enhance processing
efficiency, but to support the construction sector’s transition toward more
resource-efficient production models” said Massimo Neresini, CEO of
SICIT Group.

portfolio through local stock and supply infrastructure

application specialists
- Shorter lead times and a more responsive, service-oriented customer
