Integrated Knitted Fabric & Garment Manufacturer Turkey | Bordo Group

Bordo Group is a Turkish integrated textile and garment manufacturing group whose industrial heritage dates to 1968, when the first generation of the family entered the textile industry. Today, the business is managed by the family's third generation and supplies fabrics and finished garments to global fashion brands.

The group structure is particularly important when classifying this company. Bordo Group operates through three principal textile businesses:

Bordo Textile – knitted fabrics
Organic Textile – electronic knitted jacquard fabrics
Tandem Textile – ready-to-wear garment manufacturing

Therefore, unlike a company specializing only in fabric or only in garment sewing, Bordo Group can legitimately be classified as an Integrated Knitted Fabric & Garment Manufacturer.

Bordo Textile – Knitted Fabric Manufacturing

Bordo Textile is the group's principal knitted fabric operation.

The company states that it manufactures high-quality knitted fabrics for global brands that influence and set trends in the international fashion industry. It also describes itself as having the experience and technical capability to manufacture a broad range of knitted fabrics.

Its strongest areas include:

Knitted Fabrics
Fashion Knitted Fabrics
Natural-Fiber Fabrics
Sustainable Fabrics
Organic Fabrics
Functional Fabrics
Customer-Specific Fabric Development
Fashion Collection Fabrics

The company should therefore definitely be included in a database of Knitted Fabric Manufacturers in Turkey.

Natural & Sustainable Fabrics

One of Bordo Textile's most distinctive specializations is the use of natural and sustainable fibers.

The company specifically identifies continuous production involving fibers such as:

Wool
Linen
Kapok
Bamboo
Organic Cotton
Silk

This is important from a sourcing perspective because Bordo is not positioning itself primarily around commodity knitted fabrics. Its strategy emphasizes fashion-oriented, natural-fiber, organic and sustainable fabric development.

Fabric Design & Development

Bordo Textile has a structured fabric-development process.

The company's description indicates a workflow beginning with newly developed yarns from leading yarn manufacturers and continuing through:

Yarn Selection → Fabric Construction Development → Knitting → Dyeing → Finishing → Collection Selection

Its R&D team then evaluates different developments according to fashion trends and customer appeal before incorporating selected fabrics into collections.

This makes Bordo particularly relevant to fashion brands looking for fabric innovation and collection development, rather than simply purchasing standardized fabrics.

Functional & Smart Fabrics

Another interesting area is functional textile development.

Bordo Textile states that it follows developments in yarns, chemicals, dyes and textile machinery and applies technologies including nanotechnology and microencapsulation in fabric development.

The company specifically mentions development of:

Water-Repellent Fabrics
Dirt-Repellent Fabrics
Oil-Repellent Fabrics
Quick-Dry Fabrics
Cooling Fabrics
Aloe Vera Functional Fabrics
Smart / Functional Textiles

So Functional Knitted Fabric Manufacturer is also a relevant secondary classification.

Organic Textile – Jacquard Fabric Manufacturing

A major specialization within Bordo Group comes through Organic Textile, established in 2007.

Organic Textile specializes specifically in electronic knitted jacquard fabrics and states that it manufactures environmentally friendly jacquard knitted fabrics for international fashion brands.

Its core positioning includes:

Knitted Jacquard Fabrics
Electronic Jacquard Fabrics
Fashion Jacquard Fabrics
Environmentally Friendly Fabrics
Customer-Specific Jacquard Development
Collection Fabrics

The company states that its customers include global brands particularly in:

Europe
United States
Russia
Other international markets

This gives Bordo Group a relatively specialized capability in high-value knitted jacquard fabric manufacturing.

Tandem Textile – Garment Manufacturing

The group's finished-garment operation is carried out through Tandem Textile.

Interestingly, Bordo Group states that Tandem was established following encouragement and demand from global brands that were already sourcing fabrics from the group. In other words, Bordo expanded downstream from fabric supply into ready-to-wear manufacturing.

This is strategically important because it allows Bordo Group to offer both:

Fabric Supply + Finished Garment Manufacturing

to fashion customers.

Ready-to-Wear Manufacturing

Bordo Group's garment manufacturing infrastructure is substantial.

According to the group's official ready-to-wear manufacturing page:

Garments are manufactured in a LEED Platinum-certified green factory
The operation has BSCI A Level social-compliance approval
Own production facilities are located in Istanbul and Düzce
These facilities have approximately 60,000 m² total enclosed area
The group maintains a substantial collection-development organization independent from routine production
Having its own fabric company within the group supports shorter lead times

This clearly establishes Bordo Group as an actual industrial garment manufacturer, not simply a textile trading or sourcing organization.

Istanbul & Düzce Garment Facilities

Bordo Group states that its garment manufacturing takes place in its own facilities in:

Istanbul + Düzce

with a combined enclosed manufacturing area of approximately:

60,000 m².

This is one of the strongest verified scale indicators available on the group's current website.

The company also emphasizes continued investment in modern machinery and production technologies.

Collection Development

Collection development is another significant strength.

Bordo Group states that its garment operation maintains a strong collection capacity and dedicated team that operates independently from production.

Its technical and creative teams follow developments involving:

Special Yarns
Fabric Knitting
Special Finishing
Technical Textiles
Printing
Washing
Textile Chemicals
Machinery Technologies
Fashion Trends

This makes the group particularly suitable for fashion customers seeking product-development support + fabric development + garment manufacturing from the same supplier ecosystem.

Sustainability

Sustainability is a major component of Bordo Group's positioning.

Bordo Textile states that sustainable textile manufacturing has long been a priority and that its production capabilities and technologies have been adapted for sustainable manufacturing.

Its sustainable-material positioning includes:

Organic Cotton
Linen
Wool
Bamboo
Kapok
Silk
Natural Fibers
Sustainable Knitted Fabrics

The group also publishes dedicated 2023 and 2024 Carbon Emission Reports, indicating structured measurement and reporting of environmental performance.

Certifications & Compliance

For garment manufacturing, the official site specifically identifies:

LEED Platinum green factory
BSCI A Level social compliance

These are commercially relevant for international brands because they concern both environmental building standards and social-compliance requirements.

I would not automatically add GOTS, GRS, OEKO-TEX or other textile certificates without checking the group's individual current certificate documents, even though Bordo manufactures organic and sustainable textiles.

International Market Position

Bordo Group's operations are strongly oriented toward global fashion brands.

Bordo Textile states that it supplies knitted fabrics to global brands, while Organic Textile identifies Europe, the United States and Russia among its international markets.

The group also presents its fabric developments at major international textile fairs including:
