Our Story as Zeyd Tekstil
Our journey began with the passion of our founders – Hidayet, Ali and Sakin Yalçın – for the textile industry, coupled with their deep experience dating back to the 1990s. Drawing on the expertise and know-how gained while working with leading companies in the weaving and ready-to-wear sectors, particularly in European countries such as the Netherlands and Belgium, we established Zeyd Tekstil in 2008. Initially, our goal was to produce waterproof mattress protectors and various home textile products.
Our Journey of Branding and Growth
In 2009, we made our first major investment in facilities and machinery, rapidly increasing both our production and workforce capacity. That same year, we invested in the MİSLİNA brand as part of our branding strategy and made our first export to Greece with waterproof kitchen sets. By exporting towels and water-repellent gabardine chef, butcher and bartender aprons to Germany, we strengthened our presence in international markets. Participating as an exhibitor in the Istanbul EVTEKS International Home Textiles Fair was also a significant milestone in this growth journey.
By 2010, we expanded our export network, entering markets in Israel, the United Kingdom and France, where our activities still continue today. Additionally, this year we launched our own e-commerce platform and began selling nationwide.
The years 2011 and 2012 were marked by further machinery investments. In 2011, we completed our investment in a lamination machine, boosting our production capacity, and participated in the textile fair held in Kazakhstan. In 2012, our investment in weaving machines enabled us to start producing towels and bathrobes entirely in-house.
Between 2013 and 2015, additional investments and a wider product range helped us double our domestic production and sales figures. We also started supplying products to leading national and international brands. In 2015, we fully renewed our machinery line, equipping it with the latest technology to achieve the highest level of production and product quality.
During the period of 2016–2018, we expanded our international marketing network and began producing different products, including knitted fabrics and wellsoft blankets. In 2018, to support our branding and diversification goals, we acquired the patent rights for the Silver NEEDLE brand, further enriching our product portfolio.
The years 2019 and 2020 marked an intensive period for our R&D activities. In 2019, we launched R&D projects related to OUTLAST technology and successfully completed the product development phase. In 2020, we began R&D and branding work for baby clothing products. At the same time, we started the investment in our new factory, which covers a closed area of 10,000 square metres.
Since the day we were founded, we at Zeyd Tekstil take pride in being a constantly growing and evolving company. With our industry experience, innovative approach and commitment to quality, we continue to move forward on our journey.
