We Teks

What We Teks does

We Teks (legal entity: WE TEKS A.Ş.) is a Turkish textile manufacturer headquartered in Bursa (Kestel), Turkey, founded in 1932 as Günbatılı Textile and rebranded to its current name in 2018. The company operates a vertically integrated production facility — 22,000 m² of closed-area factory plus 7,000 m² of weaving, garment, and logistics space — covering weaving, filmdruck and digital printing, flat dyeing, and garment manufacturing under one roof, with monthly capacities of 1.1 million m² (weaving), 5 million m² (printing), 2 million m² (dyeing), and 700,000 sewn/packaged units. It produces textile accessories — scarves, shawls, foulards, bandanas, pareos, and hair bands — primarily on an OEM/ODM basis for global fashion brands and retailers, with exports oriented toward the EU and other international markets.

The company's revenue model combines B2B contract manufacturing (the primary stream) with proprietary consumer brands Lanjeron (modern urban women's accessories) and Thoqart (Anatolian heritage-inspired accessories), distributed through e-commerce and physical retail both domestically and abroad. The firm employs 300–400 personnel and differentiates itself through patented printing techniques, a hybrid printing method (first in Turkey, with patent studies pending), and an in-house Design Center producing exclusive patterns and trend-aligned collections. Go-to-market is sales-led through direct B2B relationships and international trade fair participation (notably Texworld Paris), supplemented by earned media, brand-launch events, and social-responsibility initiatives (e.g., a Down Syndrome Association collaboration). No public revenue, funding rounds, or institutional investors are disclosed; ownership remains closely held across generations.

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Koton: Major Turkish fast-fashion retailer offering women's apparel and accessories including scarves and foulards. Comparable as a Turkish domestic brand operating in the same accessory category, though Koton is retail-focused while We Teks is manufacturing-led.
• Sarar: Turkish vertically-integrated textile and apparel manufacturer producing menswear, womenswear, and accessories for global brands. Comparable as a fellow Turkish textile manufacturer with B2B production capabilities, though broader in apparel scope than We Teks.

Direct peers

• Faliero Sarti: Italian luxury scarf and shawl manufacturer producing high-end printed and woven accessories. Directly comparable to We Teks on product category (scarves/shawls), printing-led differentiation, and brand positioning in premium women's accessories.
• Vakko: Iconic Turkish luxury fashion house producing scarves, shawls, and women's accessories alongside broader apparel. Vakko is a direct comparable given its Turkish origin, scarf/accessory focus, and combination of OEM heritage with proprietary branded retail — the same dual model We Teks pursues via Lanjeron and Thoqart.
• Menderes Tekstil: Turkish integrated textile manufacturer producing woven and printed fabrics for apparel and home textiles. Comparable to We Teks on integrated yarn-to-finished-goods capabilities, Turkish manufacturing footprint, and export orientation to European markets.

Broad incumbents

• Hermès: French luxury house whose silk scarf business (Carré) is the global benchmark for branded printed scarves. Comparable to We Teks as both use proprietary printing techniques and vertical textile production, though Hermès operates at vastly greater scale and brand premium.
• Emilio Pucci: Italian luxury fashion house known for signature printed scarves, foulards, and resort accessories. Comparable to We Teks on print-driven scarf expertise and premium positioning, though operating as a global luxury brand rather than OEM manufacturer.
• Desigual: Spanish fashion brand with broad accessory range including printed scarves, foulards, and beachwear pareos. Comparable to We Teks on printed textile accessories targeting fashion-conscious consumers, though Desigual operates as a global retail brand.
