Founding & History
Foundation
Ömer Dikmen founded Dikmen Metal in Istanbul in 1995. The company entered the textile sector with a manufacturing-first philosophy. Most of the supplier and brand relationships active today trace back to this founding period.
PRYM Group Partnership
Dikmen Metal entered a strategic partnership with PRYM Group — a global textile accessory leader operating across 130+ countries. The partnership aligned Dikmen Metal with European supply chain standards and opened direct access to international brand procurement networks.
Turkey PRYM Board Chairmanship
Ömer Dikmen served as board chairman for PRYM Group's Turkish operations for eleven years. In this role, he shaped Turkey's position in the international textile accessory supply chain and drove institutional development across the sector.
Full Focus on Dikmen Metal
Ömer Dikmen concluded his PRYM role in 2019 and returned full-time to Dikmen Metal. The international experience and network built over eleven years now drive the company's strategic direction and product development priorities.
Direction
Vision & Mission
Vision
To be the quality and reliability benchmark for metal accessories in the European and Middle Eastern textile industry — with production practices that are sustainable, auditable, and continuously improving.
Mission
To supply the textile industry with brass, zamak, and stainless steel accessories that meet the tightest quality, delivery, and compliance requirements — consistently, at scale.
Core Values
What we stand for.
Quality
ISO 9001 procedures govern every production stage with documented controls. Product consistency follows the system — it is not left to individual judgement or batch luck.
Reliability
Most brands in the reference portfolio have been continuous supply partners for over a decade. Delivery commitments and specification compliance are non-negotiable, not aspirational.
Sustainability
OEKO-TEX Standard 100, ISO 14001, and ECO Series certifications are maintained under annual third-party audit. Environmental responsibility is a production constraint, not a marketing position.
Expertise
Thirty years of brass and zamak manufacturing knowledge means an engineering lens is applied to every order. Custom geometry, bespoke alloy, specific plating chemistry — non-standard requirements are handled, not redirected.
