Karmen leather garment manufacturing company, founded in 1959 in Istanbul, began its operations by anticipating these values. Their first customers were European, US buyers who have foreseen the potential in Turkey.This proximity to leather by foreign buyers attracted the attention of Karmen and encouraged them to research conditions of exporting this product to other countries. Karmen made its first export to America in 1962, which was also the first time for Turkey. Since 1970's the leather sector has been playing a growing crucial role in the Turkish economy by providing a net foreign currency inflow due to operations on exports and tourists. In 1972 Karmen, entered a partnership with a leather factory to provide high quality leather. Once again in 2008, KARMEN became independent with all its know-how.
