Progress Textile Industry and Foreign Trade
Progress Textile Industry and Foreign Trade, which has been operating since 2016, continues to expand its product range day by day and proceed on its path towards becoming a global brand with fast and solid steps. By gradually expanding its sales areas, it maintains its activities with the aim of becoming a world-renowned brand.
One of the companies that make a difference with the professional accessory solutions it offers to global brands, Progress Textile, continues its operations in its new showroom located in Istanbul Merter. Following a value-added service policy in metal and plastic accessories, the company is also assertive in zippers and labels.
In our customer portfolio at Progress Textile, we cater to global ready-to-wear clothing companies, as well as the shoe, bag, leather industry, and canvas furniture accessories. As an İHKİB (Istanbul Apparel Exporters’ Association) member, we are one of the few companies that predominantly engage in foreign trade. We directly export to many countries in North Africa, the Middle East, and Europe.
Increasing Its Effectiveness in North Africa and Eastern Europe
Şefik Özdemir, who expresses that they produce special accessories for customers, states: “We are a company that predominantly provides metal accessories services. We supply all kinds of buttons and accessories made of zamak, brass, and sheet metal to our customers. We produce special fantasy buckles for shoe manufacturers. Plastic buttons, buckles, and stoppers are also among our product range. We are assertive in nylon, metal, and bone zippers. We reflect the fashion of the day in leather labels. We also respond to all kinds of lace demands. We demonstrate our difference in accessory attaching machines. With the onset of the pandemic in recent years, there was a closure in the European market. Fluctuations in foreign exchange affected trade. Nevertheless, we closed this challenging period with good performance.
Especially, our experience in North Africa has greatly contributed to our performance. We started selling leather and accessories to leather garment and shoe manufacturers in this region. We have reached a good point in leather label supply. By participating in the “Intertex Tunisia” fair to be held in Tunisia at the end of May, we aim to be more effective in this region. We are conducting new customer researches in Egypt and Eastern European countries. In terms of production, we continue to manufacture accessories in line with trends by partnering with accessory manufacturers. In the upcoming period, we aim to take faster steps towards becoming a professional solution partner offering value-added accessory options.
