OUR HISTORY

The Kimtex story is the success story of Vahit Gozek.

Gozek was introduced to weaving looms at the age of seven. Textiles was his family’s profession since the 1930s, and he learned all the subtleties of the textile business as he grew into a young man. With a family background and a serious interest in textile science, Vahit completed his undergraduate and graduate education in the field of chemistry. He graduated from Istanbul Technical University with honors as a Chemical Engineer and started his career in Turkey’s best textile companies.

After gaining experience in these organizations, he began to concentrate on different commercial activities in the textile industry with a focus on the import of textile dyes. In 1982 he established Kimtex in the Adana region in order to fill the gap he saw in textile dyeing. He planned and executed the construction of the facilities and the assembly of the machines. Proving that big things can be done with small capital, Gozek inspired the establishment of many local factories and facilities that are still actively producing today. His technical skills, regard for the craft and professional ethics are appreciated by worldwide partners since the mill’s inception.

Gozek expanded his business, slowly becoming a key partner of the best brands and companies in the world. With an eye toward succession, he provided his children with an education in the best schools in the world. With their different areas of expertise and managerial skills, they now serve as leaders in the management of the business. Kimtex has the knowledge & experience to compete with the leading textile brands in local and global markets.

With a 40,000 square meter facility, a weaving capacity of 50,000 meters, 35,000 meters of dyeing per day, 14 tons of yarn dyeing per day and warping of 80 kilometers per day, Kimtex currently produces textile products for its global business partners reaching across continents and ensuring that Turkish product is proudly mentioned in the world for its quality and value.
