About Us

The story of our company dates back to the 80s. Founded by Mehmet Ali Çetindağ at the intersection of Çakmakçılar Hill and Koltukciler Street in the early 1980s, HANLI İplik was one of the leading companies in the sector with its cotton sewing thread brand HANLI. Ali Babur Çetindağ graduated from ITU Textile Machinery Engineering Department in 1991 and started working in the family company.

At the end of 2009, Ali Babür Çetindağ established BABTEX by examining the structure of the supply chains at that time and transformed HANLI İplik from a company that only produced sewing threads into a company that produces ready-made clothing for European brands.

At the beginning of 2018, the company continued to provide services under the title of BABBELT as a manufacturer of accessories for men, women and children under the roof of BABTEX HANLI Textile Industry and Foreign Trade Joint Stock Company.

Our company, which produces and exports men's, women's and children's accessory products for Europe's most well-known chain stores and brands with the highest quality awareness, offers creative, innovative and quality products with the most flexible service approach. In line with this goal, with a global and visionary perspective, fashion trends and innovations in product groups in the world are followed firsthand and very closely; with its experienced teams in Istanbul and London, it works hand in hand with the exciting fashion culture of the world.
