October 20, 2026
11-13 November 2026 · Istanbul Expo Center, Yeşilköy
KADD will be at PU Expo Istanbul 2026 in collaboration with POLYDER. From 11 to 13
November, we invite polyurethane industry representatives to our stand at Istanbul Expo Center
to discuss how their knowledge of materials and manufacturing could contribute to cultural
heritage conservation.
Where archaeology and industry can work together
Our work supports archaeological research and conservation at Karahantepe. At PU Expo, we
want to share some of archaeology’s practical needs with people from the sector and explore
where their expertise could help.
fırsatı sunuyor.
Protective supports for transporting objects and replicas for use in museums, schools and
exhibitions are starting points for these conversations. Through our collaboration with POLYDER,
we hope to build contacts that could lead to joint projects over time. Any potential work would need
to meet conservation requirements and be assessed by the relevant specialists.

Before polyurethane, there was limestone.
We are also sharing the flyer prepared for this occasion. Opening with “Before polyurethane, there
was limestone,” it introduces KADD’s work and invites the industry to consider how we could
support cultural heritage conservation together. We are sharing both language editions alongside
this announcement.
