What DNM Denim does

DNM Denim is a B2B denim fabric manufacturer headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey with vertically integrated production operations in Damietta, Egypt, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Turkish conglomerate Eroğlu Global Holding since its founding in 2011.

Each collection contains multiple sub-lines addressing specific use cases such as men's denim, gender-neutral denim, brushed winter denim, and recycled-content denim.

The company's underlying production technology is built around a sustainability-first closed-loop model. Its Damietta facility operates a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) water treatment system that recovers 90.2% of consumed water per ISO 14046 standards, with supplementary cogeneration and solar energy systems. DNM holds over 20 third-party verified certifications including GRS, RCS, OEKO-TEX Standard 100, BCI, Higg Index, GOTS, ZDHC Supplier to Zero (Levels 1 and 2), ISO 50001, ISO 10002:2018, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, Regenagri, and TÜV SÜD-verified Carbon and Water Footprint certifications. The company has also co-developed proprietary fabric platforms with The LYCRA Company, including the Shaped'N Relaxed technology combining LYCRA® BEAUTY and LYCRA® FREEF!T™ and an in-house Re-Generation process that produces 100% recycled colored yarns using no water and no chemicals. Strategic partnerships include membership in the Ellen MacArthur Foundation Jeans Redesign Project (since 2020) and the Denim Deal Agreement (since 2021).

DNM generates revenue through direct B2B fabric sales to fashion brands and garment manufacturers, with no consumer-facing sales. Distribution is managed through a network of regional sales offices in Istanbul (HQ), London (UK Sales Director), Düsseldorf (Head of Sales-Germany, opened February 2024), and Los Angeles (US), supplemented by participation in industry trade shows including Kingpins Amsterdam and Denim PV London.
