Aydin: “Turkey is the only country who is able to produce collections, designs and productions as a whole and aims to grow by following a design and innovation focused strategy and with growing investments”

Tetsiad Aims High For Turkish Home Textile Industry

The only representative organization of the Turkish home textile industry TETSIAD, the Association of Turkish Home Textiles Industrialists, deals with the problems of the industry and acts a leader in foreign markets for its members. We asked about the success story of the association to Mr. Ali Sami Aydin, Chairman of the Board.

What is the mission of TETSIAD?

Having more than a thousand members, TETSIAD is a civic association who represents 97% of Turkish home textile industry. Having a sustainable competition power by using domestic inputs by 75%, we are one of the industries that have the technical capabilities and capacities to answer all the needs.

The Turkish home textiles industry is powerful enough to serve to more than 200 countries with its exports. Being at the helm of this organization that convenes all stakeholders of the industry puts a great responsibility on our shoulders. We keep our efforts to be successful in this honorable job and assume all responsibilities. By watching the import and export activities in the country and in the world we publish several reports to inform our members.

We want to make Istanbul the fashion center and attractive destination for home textiles. Our target for mid term is to convene all the buyers and sellers and all their stakeholders of home textile industries in Istanbul.

We work hard to increase the share of Turkish home textiles in target countries by searching for new markets and segments in the world. We also want to develop our relations with universities and to engage joint projects. We know about the power of knowledge and want to produce wealth and productivity.

How many members does your organization have? Are they all manufacturers?

We have 1030 members of whose 75% are manufacturers.
