About Us
In 1940, Mr. Sokrati Karacaoglu, a Greek-origin entrepreneur, founded 'Selale Kimya ' (" means waterfall in Turkish"), the first company to produce deionized / demineralized water via distillation.
In 1980, Chemical Engineer Cengiz Tuncel took over Selale Kimya, and Selale started to produce Silver Nitrate, Lead Nitrate, Toilet Blocks, and Car Air Fresheners for the first time in Turkey together with Water and Solvent Distillation.
He established Ataman Kimya Ltd. in 2006 for Chemicals Distributing, trading, and import & export operations.
In 2020, the company was renamed Ataman Kimya A.S (INC.)
The new generation has been managing ATAMAN since 2009, and Selale Kimya is still active in producing industrial demineralized water via new processes.
