Ak-Tops Tekstil San. A.Ş.
Ak-Tops, delivering services to knitwear, fabrics, blanket and carpet industries, has the world’s largest production capacity in its specific field.

A development and efficiency focused production approach

Established in 1986, Ak-Tops products fall into several categories: acrylic color tow, acrylic ecru and color chopped fiber, acrylic bleaching, acrylic and wool optic whitening, acrylic and wool dyeing and acrylic and wool tops/bumps. Ak-Tops, delivering services to knitwear, fabrics, blanket and carpet industries, has the largest production capacity in its own field of activity in the world. In addition to offering its customers products with quality, cost and service advantages, Ak-Tops closely monitors technological developments to maintain its industry superiority in a constantly changing market environment.
Steadfast in its application of quality policies to all business processes, Ak-Tops was one of the first 100 enterprises in Turkey to receive the TS EN ISO 9002 Quality Management Systems Certification. Subsequently awarded the TS EN ISO 9001:2008 KYS Certificate, the Company has focused on customer satisfaction since the launch of its production line. In 2006, Ak-Tops was the first in the Akkök Group company to implement the TS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety Management System. The Company’s sensitivity to environmental issues was recognized again when it adopted
the TS EN ISO 14001 Environmental Management System. Corporate Resource Planning applications, part of the 6-Sigma business methods, are of crucial importance to the Company. Since it started the 6-Sigma applications, the Company has achieved earnings of over US$ 4 million.




A safe and healthy working environment
Ak-Tops conducts a training program for employees to ensure the development of their competency and professional skills. This provides employees with a first-hand opportunity to improve their competencies, gain professional knowledge and to follow up on technological advances.


Within the framework of the “Human First” approach, the Company attaches great importance to occupational health and safety practices; it constantly makes investments for further improvement. A great emphasis is placed on upholding occupational health and safety practices in all production processes and it ensures participation of all employees for the management of potential risk. In 2009, Ak-Tops’ performance in terms of accident frequency rate/ratio was close to the average statistics of Turkey’s Social Security Administration; the Company’s accident severity rate and frequency was 72% below the average. Ak-Tops diligently and unremittingly continues to practice occupational safety activities.

The system of industrial waste elimination employed at Ak-Tops avoids risk and ensures compliance with a preservation of ecological balance. According to the results of weekly analyses made at the Company’s purification facility, the average need for chemical oxygen amounts to 100-110 mg/l. Prevention of emission of gas, equivalent to the planting of 500 trees, and reduction of the use of chemicals were among the Company’s social responsibility projects in 2008.

2009: Investments for efficiency will continue

In the face of shrinking demand due the global economic crisis from the last quarter of 2008 and into the first quarter of 2009, Ak-Tops acted with insight and was able to avoid the impact of the crisis. While the Company’s capacity utilization rate was 55% during the first quarter of 2009, capacity utilization reached maximum levels toward the end of the year. Meanwhile, instead of making investments to increase capacity, the Company focused on projects to ensure production efficiency. With investments scheduled for completion in 2010, the Company will further increase efficiency with regard to dyeing, energy and labor costs.

2010: An optimistic look to the future
Operating in a sector where the conditions of competition are increasingly harsh, Ak-Top maintains its superior position to its rivals thanks to advantages such as product diversity, timely delivery and high quality. Ak-Tops increased the pace of production during 2009 and plans to maintain its market and demand structure in 2010.
