Koleksiyon, a Turkish furniture company, is gearing up for the next 50 years with a new focus on sustainability and innovation.
The company, which was founded in 1973, is known for its high-quality indoor and outdoor furniture. However, Chairman Koray Malhan says that the company is now ready to take on a global challenge.
“We see a growing demand for sustainable furniture,” Malhan said. “And we believe that Turkey is well-positioned to become a leader in this field.”
To this end, Koleksiyon is investing in new production facilities and technologies that use sustainable materials and processes. The company is also setting up a sustainable furniture innovation investment (SUFII) fund with the help of the Venture Capital Investment Fund (VCYF).
SUFII will support research and development, prototype production, and market entry for sustainable furniture projects.
“We believe that SUFII will help to accelerate the development of sustainable furniture in Turkey,” Malhan said.
In addition to its focus on sustainability, Koleksiyon is also expanding its international operations. The company plans to open a showroom in Dubai in September and is targeting other key markets in the Middle East, Europe, and Asia.
“We are ready for the next 50 years,” Malhan said. “We are committed to sustainable growth and to making a positive impact on the world.”
