History
The roots of Meltam go back to the 1960s, in a small weaving workshop in Bursa, run by the father of our company's founder and chairman of the board, Melih Özeren.
The love for fabric and the story of Meltam begins with the efforts of Melih Özeren to help his father during the summer holidays in this small workshop.
With this dedication and legacy, Melih Özeren set up a small company in 1990, in his early twenties, and entered the fabric trade. Outsourcing the weaving and dyeing from the best quality and most reliable manufacturers, and marketing the fabrics to Turkey's top garment manufacturers and fabric wholesalers of that era, this initiative lays the foundations of Meltam.
The production adventure starts in 1995. While continuing to outsource fabrics from the best manufacturers, Meltam starts its own production with the purchase and installation of 4 weaving machines. The first fabrics produced in these machines will be satins for lingerie and sleepwear, then the production will evolve into special evening dress taffeta and satin woven fabrics with the experience gained from the production of these delicate fabrics.
When it comes to 1997, it is time to have a more professional business structure, and Meltam Tekstil Sanayi ve Ticaret Limited Şirketi is established with its current name. Since then, Meltam's growth has continued without stopping.
Our company moved to its first production facility in 2000, by investing in new and more modern machines. When it comes to 2006, Meltam builds its own production facility and moves to this new facility, renews all of its machines and invests in more machinery. By this investment, Meltam acquires a production potential that will produce a large part of its sales.
In 2010, Meltam takes a new step to operate in European markets and starts directly exporting its fabrics to its new customers in countries such as England, Spain, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Netherlands, USA and Australia.
Within a short time, our passion for production, innovation and the work we do, enables us to be accepted as a participant in Premiere Vision Paris, the world's most prestigious fabric fair in year 2013.
The fact that we have started to emphasize the concept of sustainability in the products we develop since 2017, enables us to be a company that offers a significant part of its collection in Turkey with sustainable raw material resources.
Continuing our development, our company moves to its new production facility in 2019, where it combines the most modern technologies with aesthetic architecture and decoration, also prioritizing work flow and process optimizations.
As of today, Meltam has increased its production capacity with state-of-the-art weaving looms, modern machinery investments, all of which have been renewed in 2020; With its skilled, experienced, hardworking and determined young staff, it still carries out 70% of its production within its own structure; continues to work as a company that serves its high-level customers all over the world by offering its knowledge, creativity and the highest quality fabrics.
