The İpekiş Factory, which was established following Atatürk’s instruction to utilize the silkworm-breeding and cocoon production of Bursa region in a short time such as 2 years after the proclamation of the Republic, has left behind 95 years in the textile industry today. İpekiş Factory, bases of which were laid by Atatürk’s own hands on October 1, 1925, is known as the first company of the Turkish Republic pioneering the industry. İpekiş, which was established as a joint stock company at that time, also takes pride in being the first export company in the history of the Republic.
