Maison Omafil has officially inaugurated its advanced production facility in the Erbaa Organized Industrial Zone, marking a decisive shift toward high-utility synthetic yarn manufacturing. Spanning a total project area of 50,000 sq m, the facility is engineered to produce 9,000 tons of Partially Oriented Yarn (POY) and 3,000 tons of Fully Drawn Yarn (FDY) annually. This capacity expansion is strategically timed as the global yarn market is projected to reach $38.13 billion by the end of 2026, driven by a 4.04 per cent CAGR. By focusing on these value-added inputs, Omafil is positioning itself as a critical supplier for the medical textile, hosiery, and seamless apparel sectors.

Enhancing industrial competitiveness and employment

The new plant introduces a high-efficiency operational model intended to boost Turkey’s stance as a premier ‘near-shoring’ hub for European and Middle Eastern fashion markets. Omar Bolat, Minister of Trade, highlights, the textile and apparel sector remains an economic cornerstone, contributing 11 per cent to Turkey’s total goods exports. The investment is expected to create 300 immediate jobs in Tokat, addressing the 113,000-person employment contraction the broader sector experienced in 2025. We aim to meet domestic needs while becoming a major player in global markets through value-added production, stated Orhan Aydın, Chairman, Omafil.

Operational resilience amid global trade shifts

To navigate the 2026 logistics crisis—where West Asia transit disruptions have inflated freight costs by 20–40 per cent - Omafil is leveraging its integrated production base to reduce lead times to under three days for European capitals. This vertical focus on POY and FDY manufacturing provides a significant economic moat, as the industry faces rising labor costs and a 19 per cent decline in general machinery imports. By securing domestic supply for technical textiles, Omafil supports the Turkish ‘Green Deal Action Plan,’ ensuring that the regional supply chain remains competitive and compliant with emerging European environmental regulations.

Value-added yarn specialist

Omafil is a leading Turkish manufacturer specializing in high-performance Nylon 6 and Nylon 6.6 yarns for medical and seamless textiles. With facilities established since 2013, the company plans to reach full operational capacity at its 50,000-square-meter Tokat site by 2027. It maintains a strong financial outlook through ISO-certified, export-oriented production.
