Grafman Group – Connecting Textiles & Chemistry at the Hub between Europe and Asia
That is our goal. Being competitive starts with the professional procurement of textile auxiliaries and raw materials. Only professionals who are equally familiar with the situation of manufacturers and the needs of the processing industry can be a good partner for both sides.
Focused on the emerging Asian markets of the chemical textile industry, we bring reliable textile auxiliaries and speciality chemicals to companies operating in the textile, leather and paper auxiliaries sector at the interface between Europe and Asia.
Sizing
products
GRAFMAN sizing products are substances like starch, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and other polymers applied to yarns before weaving to strengthen them, reduce friction and hairiness, and minimize breakage during the weaving process
Pretreatment products
GRAFMAN pretreatment products are chemicals and auxiliaries like surfactants, enzymes, solvents, and bleaching agents used to remove impurities such as waxes, oils, pectin, and sizing agents from fabrics, enhancing their absorbency, whiteness, and readiness for dyeing, printing, or finishing processes
Dying and
printing products
Dyeing auxiliaries from GRAFMAN are specially developed textile auxiliaries that are used in the dyeing process to achieve even colour distribution, improved wash fastness and brilliant colour depth. They help to solve typical challenges such as uneven dyeing or limited colour fastness in natural fibres, synthetics or blends

Grafman. Small solutions, big impact.
What is our strategic advantage of a production site in Turkey and an east-facing sales organisation?
Efficiency, sustainability and technology transfer
Just for you.
Strategic location advantages and agile supply chains
As a production location for textile auxiliaries, Turkey offers a unique geographical advantage at the hub between Europe and Asia. This enables short delivery times to the target markets of Taiwan, Pakistan, India and China – particularly relevant for just-in-time production in the highly dynamic textile industry. Modern harbours and efficient land logistics reduce transport costs, while the proximity to European and Asian raw material sources increases production flexibility and price stability.
Sustainability as a differentiating feature
We also rely on certified sustainability standards (GOTS, OEKO-TEX®, ZDHC), which can be specifically adapted to the ecological requirements of Asian textile producers in particular. The growing networking of textile production on site in the heart of Turkey and investments in resource-saving technologies position us as a supplier and partner for environmentally conscious B2B customers – especially in markets such as China, where sustainability requirements are being tightened.
Technology transfer and market expertise
Our combination of traditional textile expertise and state-of-the-art production technology enables customised solutions for different target markets. High-performance textiles can be developed for Taiwan, for example, while cost-sensitive formulations for Pakistan or India can be realised with our local raw materials. At the same time, customers benefit from European and Asian industry networking, e.g. at trade fairs and through compliance security thanks to EU-compliant certifications in some cases.
