In Bursa, Izmir, and Istanbul, furniture production is concentrated in organized industrial zones (OIZs). Small and medium-sized companies operating in these zones are clustered together. In Bursa: Bursa OIZ (Yıldırım, Nilüfer, Gemlik) and Poyrazlar OIZ – There are many furniture workshops and contract manufacturers here. Along the way, note and visit factories marked "Contract Manufacturing," "Hotel Furniture," or "Project Manufacturing." In Izmir: Menemen OIZ (Operating Zone) and Gaziemir Industrial Zone. Furniture production is common in these areas of Izmir. You can go door-to-door and ask, "Do you work on hotel projects?" In Istanbul: Tuzla Industrial Zone – Large furniture manufacturers are located here. Districts like Pendik, Kartal, and Sultanbeyli also have many workshops and production lines. Tip: If a factory has "Furniture Production," "Project Manufacturing," or "Hotel & Villa" written on its door, it likely operates a contract manufacturer. Attend Furniture Fairs The annual furniture fairs held in Turkey are the best opportunities to establish direct contact with manufacturers. Istanbul Furniture Fair (IFAT) – Held annually at the Koçtaş fairgrounds. Bursa Furniture Fair Izmir Furniture Fair At these fairs: Go to the manufacturers’ stands and ask, “Do you do contract manufacturing for hotel projects?” Collect business cards, ask about their production capacities and sample projects. Some companies only work with fairs and may not have websites. 3. Contact the Local Chamber of Commerce and Industry You can go to the Chamber of Commerce or Chamber of Industry in every province. These institutions can provide information (address, phone number, field of activity) of registered companies. For example: Istanbul Chamber of Commerce (ITO), Bursa Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BTSO), Izmir Chamber of Commerce (IZTO) You can make a formal request by asking the staff there, “Can I get a list of companies that do contract manufacturing of hotel furniture and those that do project-based production?” 4. Research Subcontracted Workshops and Furniture Neighborhoods: Some neighborhoods specialize in furniture production. In these areas, small workshops operate interconnected. Istanbul: Zeytinburnu, Fatih, Sultanbeyli; Bursa: Osmangazi, Yıldırım; Izmir: Bornova, Gaziemir. In these neighborhoods: Talk to workshops that perform painting, coating, CNC, and assembly work. Ask them, "Who do you work for?" They often subcontract to large manufacturers. This way, you can reach subcontracted manufacturers within the chain. 5. Contact Architects, Interior Designers, and Project Offices: Hotel projects are often designed by interior design offices. These offices know which manufacturers they work with for production. Contact architecture offices in major cities by phone: "Do you have any subcontracted furniture manufacturers you work with on hotel projects? Can they introduce you?" Especially talk to offices that handle boutique hotel and resort projects. This way, you can reach quality, reliable manufacturers. Word of Mouth and Local Networks: One of the most powerful methods is word of mouth referrals: If you have acquaintances or colleagues, ask: "Do you know anyone who has hotel furniture made?" Ask furniture dealers: "Who manufactures these products? Do you outsource?" Ask moving companies: "Are there any manufacturers that transport hotel furniture?" These types of networks are especially helpful in reaching small but high-quality manufacturers who don't have websites. 7. Municipal and Tax Office Records: Municipalities or tax offices may provide (limited) lists of companies operating in a region. This method can be more formal and time-consuming, but it can work in some cases.
