Boyteks Names Dr. Gokmen Kara Vice General Manager

May 30, 2018

ISTANBUL, TURKEY—Dr. Gokmen Kara has been named vice general manager of Boyteks Tekstil, the upholstery, curtain fabric, and ticking division of the Boyteks Group, based in Kayseri, Turkey. Kara was previously marketing manager of Boyteks Mattress Ticking. “Boyteks upholstery is produced in Bursa, while mattress ticking is manufactured in Kayseri, so Kara will divide his time between the two plants,” a company spokesman says. “We produce two million meters of woven upholstery every month,” says Erdogan Peker, a Boyteks spokesman. His new boss, by the way, is Gokcen Kibrit, newly named sales and marketing coordinator. “If you add in warp knits and wovens, we produce five million meters a month in total,” Peker says. In other developments, Boyteks says it exceeded its sales goal for the first quarter of 2018. To help keep the company moving ahead, a recycled yarn and fabric collection is scheduled for introduction at Heimtextil 2019, featuring woven polyester and fabric in a mix with recycled cotton yarn. “Green hotels use recycled upholstery today, and we expect to follow this up with recycled ticking,” Peker adds.
