Textile Machinery and Equipment Suppliers in Turkey

Textile machinery and equipment suppliers are the companies that make and sell the machines used in textile and garment production, together with those that provide spare parts, used machines and repair service. The scope covers sewing, knitting, weaving, dyeing and finishing, cutting and printing machines. The company that sells a machine, the one that supplies its parts and the one that services it can be three different firms, so start by deciding which machine or which service you need.

Textile machinery groups

Production machines:

• Industrial sewing machines: lockstitch, overlock, coverstitch, buttonhole, button-sewing and bartack machines
• Knitting machines: circular and flat machines for fabric and knitwear
• Weaving machines: looms and weaving preparation machines
• Dyeing and finishing machines: jet and overflow dyeing machines, yarn dyeing machines, stenters, compactors, dryers and denim washing machines
• Fabric cutting machines: spreading and cutting equipment
• Textile printing machines: DTG, DTF, sublimation and screen printing equipment

Purchasing and after-sales:

• Textile machinery spare parts: needles, knives, loopers and other consumable and wear parts
• Used textile machinery: buying and selling second-hand machines
• Textile machinery repair: maintenance, repair and commissioning

The fabric, garments or printing that a machine produces are not listed in this sector; for those, see the relevant manufacturer and contract-workshop categories. To have fabric or yarn dyed and finished, see dyeing and finishing companies; for garment and denim washing, see garment washing companies.

Manufacturer, agent or dealer? Ask about warranty, delivery, parts and a test run

• Is it the manufacturer, an authorized representative or a dealer? Have the party responsible for warranty and service written into the quote.
• Does the quote give the exact model name, the equipment and whether the machine is new or used?
• Is the machine in stock or built to order? Ask about delivery time, and who handles installation and operator training.
• From which province, and how quickly, do spare parts and service arrive? If the machine will be installed outside Turkey, ask who provides service in your country.
• Can you see the machine running, or test it with your own material?

Model, automation level and installation scope set a machine's price

Machine type and capacity, level of automation (thread trimmer, electronic control, software), brand and model, attachments, new or used, and the price of installation and training all affect the price. Have the quote state the currency, the Incoterms rule, whether VAT is included, and whether freight and installation are covered. Compare companies on the same scope.

Documents and workplace safety

As of the date of this page (October 8, 2026), placing new machines on the Turkish market is governed by the Machinery Safety Regulation (2006/42/EC) (text in Turkish); the declaration of conformity, CE marking and Turkish-language instructions are requirements of that regulation. In the EU, Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 on machinery will replace the directive from January 20, 2027 (EU-OSHA); watch whether Turkey's alignment rules change.

If the machine will run in a workplace in Turkey, it is work equipment, and the Regulation on Health and Safety Requirements for the Use of Work Equipment (text in Turkish) puts maintenance, inspection and training duties on the employer. For documents and checks specific to your machine, consult your occupational health and safety specialist.

Textile machinery in Turkey: production and imports

According to Adil Nalbant, president of TEMSAD (the Textile Machinery and Accessories Industrialists Association), Turkey's textile machinery exports were $830 million in 2023, and 75% of such exports are dyeing, washing and finishing machines. The same assessment puts 2023 textile machinery imports at $1.95 billion, of which $860 million were yarn and spinning machines (Textotex, May 30, 2024). Depending on the machine group you need, you may deal with a Turkish manufacturer or with an agent or dealer of an imported brand; ask for who covers warranty, spare parts and service to be written into the quote.

Where to look for machinery makers and service support

Of the 578 firms with a valid TOBB capacity report for textile, apparel and leather machinery (product code 28.94), 214 are in Istanbul, 59 in Gaziantep, 42 in Bursa and 39 in Tekirdağ (October 2026). TOBB is the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey. The count shows firms that make machines in Turkey; it does not cover dealers of imported brands, importers or service companies. Because the code also includes leather and laundry-type machinery, it is given here under its official name and should not be read as a count of textile machinery makers only.

For service and parts support, give priority to companies in or near the province where the machine will be installed; that is what the province filter is for. A 2007 report of Turkey's State Planning Organization (DPT), prepared for the Ninth Development Plan by its textile, leather and clothing industry specialized commission, names textile clusters in Bursa, Denizli, Uşak, Çorlu-Çerkezköy, Adana, Kahramanmaraş, Gaziantep and Istanbul (report, p. 202, in Turkish). The report is old and describes where textile production is concentrated, not where machinery sellers are; still, if no suitable company is near you, those provinces are a starting point.
