Akkanat Holding

Arik Bey had two main goals when it was first established in 1985. Attaining global quality in production and enabling remigration by creating employment in Anatolia. Now in its 25th year, Arik Bey takes pride in having achieved both. When it was established in 1985 Arik Bey started off with the brand name Beyteks. Since then, it has been producing for the major sports brands of the world. In the 80's when Turkey just began opening up to the world, Arik Bey had already been working with world brands like Adidas, Nike and Puma, carrying all of its production abroad. Attaining a large export volume in a short period of time, Arik Bey has also exhibited its difference with its high-quality standards. In 1996, a dream turned into reality when an integrated facility with its state-of-the-art technology was constructed in Beysehir, home of the company's founder Ali Akkanat, on a 322.000 meter square area employing 1350 people. It was both a great leap for the company, and an opportunity to enable remigration, keeping the employment capacity in the district. Today the integrated facility in Beysehir has the capacity to perform each and every phase of transforming cotton from the fields into confection products.
