Inside the mill
AL KUMAŞ fabrics are made at the Alteks mills in Kahramanmaraş, a family-owned knitted fabric and textile finishing business operating since 1996.
02
Dyeing and colour development
In the dyehouse each colour is developed against an ALK code, a Pantone Textile reference or your own swatch. Lab dips are approved before bulk dyeing, and every lot is checked in the shade room.
03
Finishing
Enzyme washing, silicone softening, compacting, brushing and anti-pilling finishes set the hand, the appearance and the shrinkage behaviour of each fabric.
04
Printing
Reactive and pigment printing on knitted bases, from the 285 designs in our archive or from your own artwork.
05
Laboratory and quality
The textile laboratory checks colour, weight and fabric behaviour during development and production, so your bulk matches the approved standard.
06
Packing and export
Rolls are packed, labelled by lot and prepared for dispatch from Kahramanmaraş to buyers in Türkiye and abroad.
Part of a textile group
The Alteks group includes Alkaplar İplik (yarn), Dama Örgü (knitting) and Alteks Tricot in Romania, which serves buyers across Europe.
