Akkök Holding's companies operating in the chemicals industry are Aksa Akrilik Kimya Sanayii A.Ş., DowAksa İleri Kompozit Malzemeler Sanayi Ltd. Şti., and Akkim Kimya Sanayii A.Ş. Aksa Akrilik Kimya Sanayii A.Ş was established in Yalova in 1968 to meet Turkey's acrylic fiber needs and launched production in 1971 with a capacity of 5,000 tons/year. Today, Aksa is the "largest acrylic fiber producer in the world" with a production capacity of 315,000 tons/year.

Having entered the carbon fiber market in 2009 with its carbon fiber investment as part of its new product development strategy, Aksa established DowAksa, an equal stake joint venture, with Dow Chemical Holding's subsidiary, Dow Europe Holding BV in 2012.

As of December 31, 2013, it took over Ak-Tops Tekstil Sanayi A.Ş. with all its assets and liabilities, which were a 100 percent subsidiary since August 2013 and the two companies merged under Aksa's roof.
