From 1995 to Today: The Founding Story of Dikmen Metal

Dikmen Metal was founded in Istanbul in 1995 with a strong vision and production focus for the textile accessories sector. At the time, Turkey's garment and denim exports were growing rapidly, but domestic metal accessory production was falling short of the sector's rising quality expectations. Recognizing this gap, Ömer Dikmen made his first investments in brass pressing and coating.

The first five years following the founding was a period of consolidating product quality and production infrastructure. The first export in 2000 was the most important milestone of this period. Germany and Italy were the first two countries where Dikmen Metal entered the international arena. The technical requirements and quality standards of the European market systematically transformed the factory.

The PRYM Group partnership that began in 2008 marked a milestone for Dikmen Metal. Within the framework of this collaboration with PRYM, one of the world's leading textile accessories groups, Ömer Dikmen assumed the position of Chairman of the Board for PRYM Turkey. Over eleven years, Dikmen Metal came into direct contact with international production standards, and a fundamental transformation took place in quality management, process control, and product development.

Following the completion of the PRYM role in 2019, Dikmen Metal directed all corporate energy toward its own brand. This decision brought significant investments. The establishment of SolidWorks-based mold design infrastructure, expansion of CNC machining capacity, and initiation of the OEKO-TEX certification process were the concrete outcomes of this period.

Today Dikmen Metal produces with approximately 70 tons of monthly brass pressing capacity at its 2,000 m² facility in the Ikitelli Organized Industrial Zone. The company, which exports to 12 countries, serves over 50 reference brands, and holds three international ISO certifications, reflects three decades of accumulated expertise in every product.
