Furnova

What Furnova does

Furnova is a privately-held Turkish B2B manufacturer and supplier of premium fur and shearling materials serving the global fashion industry. The company produces two core product lines — shearling skins (merino, Toscana, and lacon lambskins) and fur materials (fox, mink, and Russian sable) — that are tanned, dyed, and finished for use by fashion brands, garment manufacturers, and accessory makers in high-end apparel and cold-weather garments. Its core technology centers on specialized fur and shearling tanning and dyeing processes, including the capability to produce vibrant fashion colors ranging from conventional dark shades to very light pastel tones across all fur types.

The company operates a manufacturing facility in the Marmaracık OSB industrial zone in Ergene, Tekirdağ, and a dedicated sales and marketing office in Zeytinburnu, Istanbul. It maintains long-term cooperative relationships with international auction houses, chemical suppliers, and transport companies to secure raw material inputs and reliable global delivery, leveraging its Istanbul location as a logistics gateway between Asia, Europe, and Africa. Furnova holds Furmark certification across the entire fur supply chain (dressing and dyeing stages) and maintains ISO 14001, ISO 9001, and ISO 45001 certifications covering environmental, quality, and occupational health and safety management.

The business model is direct B2B materials sales: Furnova sells tanned and dyed pelts on a per-order basis to fashion brands and garment manufacturers, with pricing not publicly disclosed and quotes negotiated directly based on product specifications and volume. The company is led by General Manager Ahmet Yeşil and operates with a headcount of 7 employees under a founder/owner-operator model with no disclosed external investors. Its go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales with event-driven international exhibition participation, including Fieramilano Rho in Milan (February 2025 and September 2025 editions), to reach European fashion buyers. Primary customer segments are European fashion industry buyers and broader fashion brands/garment manufacturers globally, with stated ambition to become the international leader in the shearling and fur sector.
