Turkish towel manufacturers are major players in the Turkish textile sector. The reason for this is Turkish towels’ great quality and low cost.
Towels should be classified as home textiles. As a result, I used the Turkish Ministry of Industry and Trade’s “Home Textile” report in this post to provide you with a better understanding of the whole sector. Known for their durability, super absorbency, and luxurious feel, Turkish towels have been the pride of the Turkish textile industry for centuries.

Top Turkish Towel Manufacturers in Turkey
Turkish towel manufacturers with high-quality products and brand awareness include Özdilek (Bursa), English Home (Istanbul), Madame Coco (Istanbul), Chakra (Denizli), Mudo (Istanbul), Taç (Istanbul), Linens (Istanbul), and Karaca Home (Istanbul). However, these companies will not offer you private label production to protect their brands.
Bursa and Denizli Towels
Bursa and Denizli are the most noticeable towel production destinations in Turkey. As a result, towel production clusters can be found in these two Turkish cities. Clustering is a cost-cutting and competitiveness-boosting element. You can notice that major export brands are typically based in Istanbul, but these towel companies in Istanbul are generally not appropriate for private label production.
If you are going to import Turkish towels, it may be more reasonable to seek quotes from thousands of Turkish towel manufacturers located in Bursa and Denizli. This is because contract manufacturing, or private label manufacturing, is primarily done in these two locations. Furthermore, in these towel production workshops, you have a better opportunity for minimum order quantity (MOQ). The towel manufacturing companies are small or medium-sized in Bursa and Denizli but big-scale in Istanbul.
Turkey’s Home Textile Locations
According to the Turkish Ministry of Trade and Industry’s Home Textile Report, in terms of home textile production:
- Bursa is the province where towel, tulle, and sheet production is concentrated.
- Denizli is the province where towel and sheet production is concentrated.
- Uşak is the province where blanket production is concentrated, and
- Istanbul is the province where tulle and sheet production is concentrated.
Turkish towel manufacturers also carry out the licensed production of some famous foreign brands.
In summary, the provinces where towel production is concentrated in Turkey are Bursa, Denizli, Istanbul, Izmir, and Uşak.

As in the previous year, towels and bathrobes ranked top in Turkey’s home textile industry exports in 2021 (34.7% share). Bed linens come in second with a 21.7% share. Towels and bathrobes had a total export value of roughly $1 billion in 2021 (source: Ministry of Industry and Trade, Home Textile Report). For a concise English summary of the entire report, please view our service titled Turkey’s Sector Reports: English Summaries.
