Chemitex was started in 1970 by Adnan, Metin and Erol Kandiyoti as a yarn trading company and quickly became one of the leading players in the textile business. A family business to this day, Chemitex now deals with a full range of grey, bleached and coloured yarn and fabric products. It has also expanded its offering from cotton to a large variety of other raw materials and blends.

The company’s reputation is founded on the unrivalled service it is able to offer its clients. As one of the world’s largest textile trading companies, Chemitex has stock comprising tens of millions of metres of fabric and thousands of tons of yarn in high technology warehouses in several countries across Europe. This stock is backed up by an expert staff of 50 people, based in Brussels, who use a combination of leading-edge technology and a lifetime’s experience to respond to each client’s needs on an individual basis.

EROL KANDIYOTI, founding partner “Our commitment to providing the ultimate in client service means that we have to be extremely flexible and responsive in everything we do. The pace of business has increased dramatically in the past thirty years and we have introduced services like Just-In-Time delivery to match. We also help both our clients and suppliers by forward planning demand so that we can always guarantee supply, no matter how tight the deadline.”	METIN KANDIYOTI, founding partner “Two things we have always done ever since we started the business thirty years ago are to run a very lean operation and work hard. In these difficult economic times, our clients and suppliers are adopting the same practices. This means that we often have to help them by holding large stocks and providing appropriate payment conditions in the relevant currency. After all, it is in our interest for them to do well.”	ADNAN KANDIYOTI, founding partner “Over the thirty years since the company was founded, we have always prided ourselves on keeping pace with market developments. This is one of the key reasons for our strong growth in a competitive field. Today we have become a veritable supermarket for the textile industry, with the right stock to meet virtually any needs our clients may have. While we are proud of our ability in this regard, we know that only by constant improvement will we retain the position we have worked so hard to achieve.”
