History Revives: Musselstone at Edirne Palace Restoration

The restoration efforts initiated for the revival of the Edirne Palace, whose foundation was laid in 1450 during the reign of Murat II and which hosted sultans such as Mehmed the Conqueror and Suleiman the Magnificent, the administrative center of the Ottoman Empire before Topkapı Palace, continue.

Edirne Palace, one of the magnificent legacies of the Ottoman Empire, is coming back to life with a meticulous restoration process. In these historic restoration works, Musselstone from our facilities located in the Süloglu district of Edirne province is used, preserving the original texture and ensuring the structure's longevity.

Musselstone, which stands out with its durability and aesthetic structure, brings the historical splendour of Edirne Palace to the present day.

We are proud to carry the traces of the past to the future!

We were at Intersec 2025, the world's leading event in the fields of safety, security and fire protection!

During the fair, our industrial garment made of Opti-Syn Elastane and our firefighter suit specially developed for F1 safety teams and Optimus were the centre of attention.

We took part in this year's annual Safety Walk with our best-selling firefighter garment Optimus in gold and dark blue with stock guarantee, our industrial suit made from Opti-Syn Elastane, and our ground-breaking high visibility firefighter suit specially designed for F1 safety teams.

We would like to thank the incredible team who hosted this impressive event for their sincere interest.

We hope to meet again in future events!

We were at TOS+H Expo 2024, Turkey's largest specialised occupational safety and health exhibition!

Our innovative occupational safety products attracted great interest!

We took our place at TOS+H Expo 2024, this year's biggest occupational safety and health event, and left behind an exciting exhibition marathon! It was a great experience to meet our friends and meet new faces.

During the exhibition, our multi-norm Opti-syn fabric as well as our flame retardant industrial garments such as Industar, Arcstar, Metalstar, Refstar and our high visibility Neonstar garments were the center of attention. Our newest firefighter garments were also highly appreciated.

Especially preferred by airport personnel, aluminium workers, iron & steel factories and glass factories, our aluminized suits, which protect against radiant heat, attracted great interest during the show. In addition, ARCSTAR protective clothing made of Opti-syn, our multi-norm fabric developed to ensure the safety of employees working in dangerous conditions such as electric arc and similar hazardous conditions, were among the most remarkable products of our booth.

We would would like to thank everyone and to their interest, we came together at TOS+H Expo 2024.

We hope to come together again in upcoming events!

We Attracted Attention, Surprised and Gained Strength Together at Techtextil 2024

Techtextil, which was held in Frankfurt between 23-26 April, was a much more than ordinary experience for us. Wondering why?

• We had the pleasure to hear many times from our visitors, that our organisation could create an "opportunity" for them, who could get to know our vertically integrated structure extending from yarn and fabric production to design, production and distribution processes in garment production.

• Poseidon, Opti-Syn Elastane, slider lining (which is very unique in the market) and high visibility fabrics, attracted the most attention at our stand.

• Especially the durability and performance of the fire suit made of Poseidon fabric was the star of our stand. Our mannequin, in which we exhibited the first version of the fire suit and the version after 25 washes, was highly appreciated. The fact that this fire suit’s outershell fabric – in which we managed to minimise fibrillation – could maintain its appearance almost as it was on the first day, surprised everyone.

We believe that this exhibition - where we showed that we could be a solution partner to many customers with our innovative products, our extensive know-how, and integrated production capability - will make a significant contribution to Kıvanç Group's ever-expanding and growing export operations, and that the new relationships we have established will make both us and our business partners stronger.

We want to thank everyone for their visits we met at Techtextil.

We are waiting for all our business partners and everyone who wants to get to know us closely at our booth at TOS+H Expo, this time in Istanbul on 2-4 May.

Kıvanç Group is the choice for the fabric of First Turkish Astronaut Alper Gezeravcı's specially designed suit for his 14-day space mission!

Our black Fire-Blocker (93-5-2) fabric was preferred for the space suits produced in local facilities at the Aviation Sewing House Directorate of the General Directorate of Military Factories (AFGM) of the Ministry of National Defense in Ankara.

In addition to being suitable for space conditions, the suit, which was prepared with Alper Gezeravcı's comfort in mind, can be used in space missions with its antistatic capability.

With more than 40 years of experience in flame retardant and anti-static garment, yarn, and fabric production, we are proud to represent our country in space.

Highlights from Intersec 2024 Exhibition in Dubai

Last week (January 16-18) we were in Dubai for Intersec 2024, one of the world's most important trade fairs on fire protection and safety.

It was great to be one of more than 1050 exhibitors from more than 60 countries and to showcase the latest developments in our heat & flame protective clothing at this esteemed organization which is now in its 25th year.

Here are the highlights of Intersec 2024 for Kıvanç Group:

• For 3 days, it was great to meet our ecosystem, customers and new prospects at our booth where we exhibited our firefighter garments and industrial workwear developed with our continuous innovation perspective.

The dark room, where we showcased our progress in terms of high visibility of our garments, was an attractive aspect of our booth.

• We are very honored to receive the exceptional contribution award from valuable Intersec organization celebrating its 25th anniversary, which we have been very happy to be part of for the last 16 years.

In the traditional Safety Walk, one of the coolest moments of the event, we had a great fashion show with our female firefighter garment Gloria, our search & rescue suit Jaguar and our wildland firefighting suit Markus. You can watch it here.

Next Tuesday We'll be at A+A!

Don't miss the opportunity to see our brand new Denim Collection garments designed with Opti-Syn, our multi-norm (single) fabric for all applications that break the flame retardant fabric myth and the surprises we have prepared for you!
