Özak Tekstil

Özak Tekstil is a Turkish apparel manufacturer founded in 1985, operating factories in Şanlıurfa, Malatya, and Istanbul with roughly 2,300 employees and a capacity of 6.6 million garments per year, supplying major global brands including Levi Strauss, Hugo Boss, and Inditex. As a tier-one supplier at the centre of a high-profile union-busting case, it illustrates how factory-floor labour practices directly determine whether brand sustainability marketing is legally defensible.
