Facts

Leather and leather product companies throughout Türkiye place great importance on social compliance as well as high and flexible production capacity for almost all product groups. For instance, our tannery sector companies are members of the Leather Working Group (LWG), which is recognized worldwide. The amount of certified companies is increasing with each passing day, and environmentally friendly production is becoming the basic motto of the sector.

While product diversity is increased by integrating the concept of fast fashion, production capability and added value are strengthened by closely following the latest trends in fashion and technology. With yearly international design contests held by Exporters’ Associations, young designers continue to be brought together with the sector which continues to invest in its workforce and technology for value-added production.

Türkiye's advantageous production and design capabilities allow for the export of products with the highest quality and fairest prices.

The shoe sector has a huge advantage in terms of logistics thanks to Türkiye's geographical location and strategic transport network, as well as its scalable, flexible, and fast production capability due to its differently sized companies. While the integrated facilities allow for high quantities of production, SME firms with their flexible production structures are able to produce and deliver smaller orders quickly and can perform fast and boutique production according to the customer’s demands.
