Its product portfolio is organized under three brands: KIVANÇ (core woven fabrics in cotton, viscose, polyester, linen, modal, tencel, and wool blends), KIVANÇ + (a premium wool-blended collection built on Woolmark 'Wool Blend Performance' and 'Wool Rich Blend' licenses), and NYTRO & KIVANÇ (a 2014 co-brand with Italian partner Nytro combining Italian design with Turkish manufacturing). The company also licenses Reliance Industries' R|Elan™ GreenGold sustainable fiber in Turkey (since 2019). Kıvanç sells B2B to European and American apparel/fashion brands across the US, UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Denmark, primarily through direct enterprise sales supported by offices in Adana, Istanbul, and Izmir and by regular participation in Premiere Vision Paris/New York, Munich Fabric Start, and London Textile Fair.
