Yarn

Company History and Background

Founded: 1972

ÖZEN İPLİK started to trade in 1972 by buying and selling yarns in a 12 square-meter shop in Mercan. Thanks to their education and commercial foresight, its founders, Chemical Engineer Hasan Hüseyin KALKAN and Chemical Engineer Mehmet Ali KALKAN, started the first manufacturing process in a humble production shop located in Istanbul-Kımkapı 1975. In line with the emerging needs, "ÖZEN Paint Shop", one of the first pain shops in our country, started to operate in an indoor area of 1,000 square-meters in Istanbul-Esenyurt in the year 1977. Our firm that has produced mostly mercerized sewing yarn in this process moved to its new production site of 3,000 square-meters in Istanbul-Bayrampaşa in the year 1980 and started to produce nylon sewing yarn for the leather goods sector in addition to mercerized sewing yarn. In the year 1990, it added high strength polyester sewing yarn to its product range.
