## About

Based in Turkey, Laska recycles used tires using eco-friendly, sustainable methods and injects them into the economy as raw materials and energy. Founded by Onur Gudu (CEO) in 2019 and based in Istanbul, Turkey, Laska produces products with its expertise in waste upcycling applications. In April 2026, Safie Inc., a portfolio company of ORIX, Global Brain, and NEC Capital Solutions agreed to fully acquire Laska from Albaraka Portföy Yönetimi A.S. and Rhea Venture Capital Investment Trust Inc. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The company provides products including carbon black, biofuel, steel, and gas. The firm offers product features including reduced carbon dioxide emissions, oil saving, disposal of waste, reduced sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, transition to upcycling, and compliance with legal requirements. The acquisition enables Laska to expand its domestic construction and maintenance capacity, support large-scale projects through Safie Field Works, and build a mobile construction system covering regional areas.
