Orta Anadolu

About the company: Since its inception, ORTA has been weaving a denim heritage passed from generation to generation. Founded in 1953, ORTA transformed from a spinning & weaving company to a denim manufacturer in 1985. Today, ORTA operates in Turkey with a production capacity of 60 million meters of denim and with its 1500+ employees, creating a platform for leading manufacturers to step up and reclaim a denim industry where more aesthetics leads to more ethics. While our footprint is what we take from the planet when we consume, our handprint is what we give back to the planet when we create change for the better. In an era of change, ORTA's handprint will promote denim manufacturing at the intersection of where people, planet and purpose matter. At ORTA, sustainability is ‘business as usual'. Our aim is to create a more robust denim ecosystem where ART (DESIGN) MEETS TECHNOLOGY MEETS SUSTAINABILITY for new infinite possibilities of denim today and tomorrow. ORTA founded its sustainability division ORTA Blu in 2010.
