Türkiye's 73-year-old textile giant stopped production: Facilities are closing completely today

Orta Anadolu Ticaret ve Sanayi İşletmesi T.A.Ş., one of Turkey's well-established textile manufacturers, has decided to completely end its production activities in Kayseri. The company's facilities, which stopped production on September 11, 2026, will be closed as of October 12, in line with the announced schedule.

The company management announced that the employment contracts of the employees will end on the same date. It was stated that severance and notice pay and other legal receivables will be paid by November 7, 2026 at the latest.

IT WAS FOUNDED IN KAYSERİ IN 1953

Founded in Kayseri in 1953, Orta Anadolu Mensucat was among Turkey's well-established textile manufacturers. The company has operated in the global textile industry by supplying denim fabric to international clothing brands, especially since 1986.

The closing process of the company, which has a production history of approximately 73 years, was announced in a statement dated September 11, 2026. In the statement, it was reported that production activities were stopped and the facilities will be completely closed on October 12, 2026.

It was stated that the decision taken was not a temporary production stop or capacity reduction, but rather a permanent termination of production activities in Kayseri.

WHY IS THE FACTORY CLOSING?

It was stated that Central Anatolia's decision to end production was influenced by the contraction in demand in the global textile industry and rising production costs in Turkey.

While it was stated that more than one economic factor played a role in the company's closing process, following these developments, it was decided to permanently stop production activities in Kayseri.
