Yißit Durak, Vice Chairman of the Board of Durak Tekstil, stated that the A+A Düsseldorf is a globally significant event for the occupational safety industry. “Occupational health and safety is a subject with several different aspects and impacts. Strict regulations have been established to protect the health and well-being of employees throughout the production process, from workplace accidents to occupational diseases. In this context, the need for innovative solutions to enhance occupational safety is constantly growing. At Durak Tekstil, we have achieved significant advancements in this area through our uninterrupted and interdisciplinary R&D efforts. The A+A 2025 will be an important platform to showcase our strength in technical threads, especially our highly flame and cut-resistant threads,” he commented.

Durak Tekstil last participated in this event before the pandemic, and is poised to make a strong return with a rich and advanced product portfolio. At Durak Tekstil’s booth, numerous technical threads, produced from different raw materials with special recipes and featuring different functions, will be on display for industry experts. Among the threads selected with their functional properties in mind, stand out; cut-resistant threads (Durak Cut-Safe), flame-retardant threads (Durak Fire-Safe), electrically conductive (Durak SilverPro) or insulating threads, threads with optical functions such as invisibility, color change, and reflection by laser and light waves (Durak Poly-Strong PC-IR and Durak Reflective), pest repellent products (Durak Bug-Safe), and certain products for the medical industry. These threads, which have successfully passed internationally recognized functional tests, offer durability and longevity suitable for their intended use thanks to their high-quality raw materials and special processing recipes.
