About Ariteks · since 1975
Ariteks was founded in Istanbul in 1975 as a family business — and family-owned it remains. Today it is a manufacturing group with two plants, the Ariteks Nanotek research centre and twelve laboratories, supplying fabrics to producers of special-purpose apparel worldwide.
Dyeing has been the company's foundation from the start — Ariteks is among the pioneers of special methods: vat and indigo dyeing, space-dye, and coating and laminating systems. That technological edge grew into the manufacturing of fabrics for protective, medical and sports apparel, carried out today across 14,000 m² of production floor.
Five percent of the budget is invested in research and development every year. The plants run on clean and renewable energy, and continuous systems keep water consumption to a minimum — environmental performance confirmed by ISO 14001 certification.
Fibre and yarn dyeing in HT machines for batches from 20 to 500 kg, high-efficiency hydro-extraction, RF drying and precision rewinding of fine and lustrous yarns. Quality control starts here — at the level of a single fibre.
A complete knit and woven treatment line: singeing, desizing, mercerising and continuous bleaching; dyeing in jigger, pad-batch, pad-dry and pad-steam technologies; physical and chemical finishing — coating, lamination, impregnation, raising, sueding, shearing and compacting.
The Ariteks Nanotek centre in Ergene runs research projects funded by TUBITAK programmes, among others — from thin-film coatings, through biopolymer fibres, to third-generation solar cells on flexible fabrics. Day-to-day production control and recipe development are handled by twelve in-house laboratories, including:
yarn colour laboratory · fabric colour laboratory · physical test laboratory · organic synthesis laboratory · nanoparticle synthesis laboratory · thin-film coating laboratory · automation laboratory · software laboratory
Duty-free, quota-free trade in industrial goods — in force since 1996. Every delivery is accompanied by an A.TR movement certificate.
Türkiye is a full member of CEN. EN ISO standards bind Ariteks exactly as they bind manufacturers in Germany or Italy — the difference lies in the cost of production.
Under the pan-Euro-Mediterranean convention, Turkish fabric sewn into an EU-made product does not compromise its preferential origin in onward exports.
A management system audited annually by independent bodies. The full set of current certificates is available before your first order.
