What Biotex Medikal Tekstil does

Biotex Medikal Tekstil is a Turkish medical textile manufacturer headquartered in Rize, Turkey, founded in 1991 and operational since 2017. The company produces sterile surgical drape sets, surgical gowns, and protective equipment, with a portfolio of 40+ specialized drape sets covering 12+ surgical disciplines. It is ISO 13485:2016 certified for medical device quality management, a prerequisite for institutional medical supply contracts. The company operates from an 8,750 m² production facility with 51-100 employees, approximately 50 of whom are women in production roles.

The company's revenue model is anchored in B2B sales of sterile consumables to hospitals and medical institutions. Approximately 60% of production is exported to 27 countries, with key customers including Acıbadem Hospitals, the World Health Organization, and leading Turkish hospital networks. The company is ranked among the top three Turkish manufacturers of sterile surgical drape sets and is the 6th largest exporter in Rize province, indicating a regionally significant but not market-leading position.

In 2022 the company entered a partnership with Recep Tayyip Erdoğan University to commercialize a white tea-based burn cream, signaling a diversification move beyond its core textile portfolio. It also participates in the MEGİP vocational training program with İŞKUR and the Rize Chamber of Commerce, and has stated plans to double its workforce. The business is founder-controlled and private, with no funding rounds disclosed.
