What KAYTEKS ÖRME GİYİM SAN. ve TİC. A.Ş does

Kayteks is a Turkish semi-integrated textile manufacturer founded in 1965 and headquartered in Denizli, operating a 30,000 m² facility (15,000 m² enclosed, 15,000 m² open) with 30 circular knitting machines on a climate-controlled 2,000 m² floor maintained at 25°C and 65% relative humidity. Production spans knitted fabrics (jersey, rib, interlock, piqué, terry, brushed jersey, combed cotton) at 15 tonnes/day and finished home textiles (fitted sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases, mattress protectors with TPU-membrane waterproofing, bath mats, chair covers) at 12,000 fitted sheets/day, plus a dedicated 4,000 m² hotel-textile line engineered for 150–300+ industrial wash cycles. The company is vertically controlled from yarn intake through knitting, cutting, sewing, and packaging, with dyeing and finishing coordinated through a certified partner network; barcode tracking supports 100% quality inspection of greige fabric.

The business model is exclusively B2B. Kayteks generates revenue through wholesale, CMT (Cut-Make-Trim), and FOB contract manufacturing, plus private label / OEM production under customer brands. MOQs are 500 pieces for finished products and 500 kg for fabric, with pricing quoted per RFQ (samples in 7 working days, quotes in 24 hours; 4–6 week standard lead time). Approximately 95% of production is exported to 20+ countries (with some sources citing 40+) — primarily Germany, France, UK, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Sweden, Switzerland, and Denmark — serving European supermarket chains, home textile brands, hotel groups, baby/children's clothing brands, and wholesale fabric buyers. The company maintains a consumer sub-brand (Açelya) and a multi-language website (TR/EN/DE), attends HOMETEX annually, and holds a deep certification stack (GOTS, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and STeP, GRS, OCS, RCS, amfori BSCI, ISO 9001, Disney FAMA, Lenzing, SANFOR KNIT).

Kayteks is a privately held Turkish joint-stock company (A.Ş.) with no disclosed institutional ownership, no parent company, and no public listing. The company is ranked among the top 25 exporters in Denizli and top 10 in its own sector. No revenue is publicly disclosed; headcount of 55 appears to reflect only head office / management staff and is inconsistent with the described production scale, representing a notable data gap for valuation purposes.
