Delta Expo

What Delta Expo does

Delta Expo (legal entity: Delta Expo Ithalat ve Ihracat Ltd. Şti) is a privately held garment manufacturer and exporter founded in 2005 and headquartered in Bağcılar, Istanbul, Turkey. The company manufactures and exports ready-made printed garments across men's, ladies', and kids' categories — including polo shirts, t-shirts, sweat shirts, sweat pants, dresses, and blouses — to European fashion brands and retailers. Core in-house capability is a DTG (Direct to Garment) digital printing mill launched in 2015, supplemented by GERBER digital pattern making for sampling, automatic fabric spreading, and cooperation with external silk screen printers to provide full printing service. The company holds certifications across Sedex, GOTS, OEKO-TEX, and ETKO, indicating compliance with ethical trade, organic textile, and chemical safety standards relevant to European buyers.

Operations are run on APPSTREAM ERP for production tracking and AQL-based inline and final quality control, with an in-house monthly manufacturing capacity of 100,000 pieces covering cutting, sewing, packing, and shipping. The business model is B2B export under quote-based pricing: Delta Expo manufactures to order for named European brand customers (including MEXX, Zalando, Just Cavalli, Roberto Cavalli, Hype, Homeboy, Galeria, and Pepe Jeans) and delivers via logistics partners such as UPS and TNT. The company operates without external funding, remaining founder-owned under CEO Ahmed A. Shahwan, and reaches customers through direct sales relationships and partnerships with major European fashion offices rather than through a digital go-to-market motion.
