Metyx Composites expands Mansia campus facility space

Metyx Composites (Istanbul, Turkey) is in the process of expanding its production facilities in Manisa, Turkey. The company began manufacturing technical textiles and composites-related products in the Manisa Industrial Zone in 2012 with a 12,500-square-meter factory. In 2016, by acquiring the land and buildings adjacent to the existing factory, the company expanded its site to 23,000 square meters, providing Metyx the space to not only double production capacity for glass and carbon fiber multiaxial fabrics, but to also add more tooling and kitting capacity.

A few months earlier, again in the Manisa Industrial Zone, Metyx began operations of an additional new warehousing facility approximately 13,000 square meters, with 10,000 square meters of covered space to further improve stock holding and distribution services. At this facility, the company supports customers nationally across Turkey and supplies a growing number of export customers.

As the company has grown rapidly in recent years, Metyx notes that its four factories in Turkey, Hungary and the U.S. have not been enough to fulfill demand for the new products and services offered. Thus, company leadership found a new site in the Manisa Industrial Zone, enabling an increase in tooling and prototyping production capabilities and adding approximately 16,000 square meters of open space and 16,000 square meters of closed area space.

This latest investment in the expansion of Metyx is part of an ongoing key strategic investments in high-end production facilities for technical textiles and composites-related products. “The commitment to our loyal customer base is what drives all the decisions we make,” Ugur Üstünel, Metyx CEO, emphasizes. “As we expand our business, we will be helping our customers grow their businesses as well, through our strengthened portfolio of products, improved logistics and even more comprehensive services and support. We are grateful to our customers, partners and distributors for our continued growth, and we look forward to working together as we execute our vision.”

Metyx is currently recruiting additional staff and plans to be fully operational later this year.
