About Us
A success story woven stitch by stitch since 1970…
Merinos, which started its production activities in 1970 with only two kilim weaving looms under the leadership of our Honorary President Mehmet Erdemoğlu, continued kilim production until 1983. In the same year, it transitioned to carpet production, gained significant momentum in the 1990s on its way to becoming a global brand, and began producing its own yarn in 1992.
Merinos is the only carpet brand in the world that integrates all production stages—from polymer processing to carpet manufacturing—under one roof. Today, it is the world's largest machine-made carpet manufacturer.
With a total area of 1.3 million m², including 850,000 m² of indoor space, Merinos operates integrated facilities in Gaziantep and Çerkezköy/Tekirdağ, manufacturing in four main categories: polyester chips, machine-made carpets, tufting carpets, and yarn production.
As the leader in the carpet industry, Merinos exports to over 100 countries across five continents, including Europe, America, and the United Kingdom, earning the title of export champion every year.
7% of the world's machine-made carpet production is carried out in Merinos facilities.
Merinos places great importance on design and R&D efforts. Its work on resource utilization and energy efficiency focuses on resource savings, waste recovery, and the use of renewable energy.
With an environmentally friendly approach, a PET Recycling Facility was established in 2021. This initiative reduces industrial waste (pre-consumer) and minimizes environmental waste by incorporating post-consumer waste into production.
Merinos is the first brand in the carpet industry to receive the Turquality certification, an international branding program. It ranks 73rd on Turkey's 2023 list of the top 500 industrial enterprises.
In line with the principles of our late Honorary President Mehmet Erdemoğlu, we continue our efforts to create value by sharing a portion of our earnings with society. With our production power, commitment to technology, and investment in human resources, we strive for a sustainable future.
