What IPEK TEKSTIL does

IPEK TEKSTIL (İpek Tekstil Ürünleri San. Tic. Ltd. Şti.) is a Turkish family-owned B2B textile manufacturer specializing in shirt fabrics for women's, men's, and children's apparel. Founded in 1990 by Yahya YILMAZ, the company operates two manufacturing facilities in Bursa (the original factory established in 1998 and a second factory opened in 2009) totaling 7,000 m² of enclosed production space and 72 Dobby looms (22 ITEMA and 50 EXCEL). Monthly nameplate weaving capacity is 750,000 meters, supporting a stock-based working model where hundreds of patterns and thousands of colors across dobby, striped, plaid, lumberjack, melange, cashmere, satin, Oxford, and chameleon qualities are kept ready for immediate delivery. Beyond core cotton and cotton-blend fabrics (polyester, viscose, linen, tencel, acrylic), the company has added a Sustainable Fabrics line using natural, regenerated, and synthetic fiber blends.

The business model is quote-based B2B fabric sales complemented by showroom/retail sales. IPEK TEKSTIL runs three physical locations: a sales headquarters in Osmanbey (Istanbul), a Merter (Istanbul) showroom/store operated in partnership with AYM FLAMENT Textile Products and Cleaning Materials Trade Ltd. Comp., and a Bursa retail store. Go-to-market is event-driven, with participation in Texhibition and Bursa textile fairs as the primary customer-acquisition channel, supplemented by dedicated WhatsApp contact lines for domestic and export inquiries. The customer base spans global fashion brands, local brands, and their suppliers across women's, men's, and children's apparel segments.

Export reach covers 20+ countries across Europe (Germany, UK, France, Spain, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Serbia, Macedonia, Albania, Greece), the Middle East (Iran, Syria, Lebanon), Africa (Tunisia, Egypt, Morocco), and Central Asia (Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan). The company is privately held with no external investment, no patents or certifications disclosed in the source data, and a current headcount of 38 employees. Operations are entirely conventional mechanical weaving with no documented digital, AI, or software platform component.
