Our Story

Our brand story starts from our family tradition and extends towards the future in an adventure that is still ongoing.

The name KRETAX ADHESIVES contains a story suitable for its past. The family came to Anatolia by migrating from Crete generations ago. Crete is referred to as "Krētē" in ancient Greek. We have slightly stretched the root of this word, which takes its strength from the family history, and added the letter "X" symbolizing the future to its end. Our brand story starts from our family tradition and extends towards the future in an adventure that is still ongoing.
