Technical Fabric Manufacturers and Suppliers in Turkey

Technical fabric is made for function rather than appearance: surfaces made waterproof or flame-retardant by coating and lamination, fabrics woven from high-strength yarns, membrane-bonded fabrics, and fabrics used as composite reinforcement. This page lists producers and suppliers of such fabrics sold by the meter or in rolls. The scope explicitly includes woven polypropylene (PP) fabric, coated tarpaulin, tent fabric and canvas, coated polyester oxford, and flame-retardant (flame-resistant) fabric, which is called “yanmaz” (non-flammable) in everyday Turkish. Shirting oxford is a different product and belongs to poplin and shirting fabrics. For companies that make big bags and bulk sacks from these fabrics, see FIBC and PP woven bags. For bonded fiber webs see nonwovens. For the medical, automotive or protective products made from these fabrics, see the technical textiles sector, and for apparel and home fabrics see fabrics.

What performance are you buying?

With technical fabric you order performance values, not a fabric name. Put the conditions of use (outdoor, temperature, chemical contact, flame, abrasion) and measurable targets in your inquiry: tensile and tear strength, waterproofness (hydrostatic head, or water column), flame behavior, UV and abrasion resistance. Do not assume that the same GSM means the same performance: fiber type, yarn construction and coating determine it together. For a product sold as “non-flammable” (yanmaz), too, state the flame behavior you expect and the test method; the name of a fabric is not a performance value. For a general classification of fabric types, the fabric types guide helps.

Coated and laminated fabrics: what to check

A coated fabric has two weights: the GSM of the base fabric and the total GSM with the coating. Ask for both. Also ask about the adhesion strength of the coating to the base fabric and its performance after flexing or folding; the amount of coating determines both durability and cost.

Ask a technical fabric supplier about the supply chain, lot and test report

• Supply chain: Are weaving, finishing and coating done in one company, or through subcontractors? The longer the chain, the longer the lead time and the more diffuse the responsibility.
• Minimum order (MOQ): It is set by the size of the dye and coating batch. Selling from stock by the meter and a made-to-order production run are different jobs; ask the quote to state which one applies.
• Sampling: Keep a meter sample separate from the color swatch card. Attach the approved sample and its measured values to the order.
• Documents and testing: Ask for a lot-numbered report from an independent testing laboratory. If a certificate such as OEKO-TEX is offered, check that its scope matches the product you are ordering.

In technical fabrics, fiber, coating and number of layers set the price

Fiber type (polyester, nylon, or specialty fibers such as aramid and glass), the type of coating or lamination and the number of layers, GSM and width, color and print, the number of tests and the order quantity set the price. Two quotes with the same coating name (PU, PVC, silicone) can differ in thickness and performance; compare measurable values.

Where are coated technical fabric producers in Turkey?

Of the 202 firms with a valid TOBB capacity report for impregnated, coated or covered textile fabrics (product code 13.96.14), 88 are in Istanbul and 46 in Bursa (TOBB, October 2026). The code matches only the coated fabric group on this page; it does not cover PP woven or high-strength woven fabrics, so do not assume the same distribution for those groups. The data covers only manufacturers that hold a capacity report. For companies near you, use the province filter in the listing.

Put the specification and test method in the order document

Give the fabric supplier the specification of the final product (which standard, which customer requirement) at the start, and ask by which method the fabric is tested. If the test method and acceptance limits are written into the purchase order, later disputes are less likely.
