Owned and operated by the Avelino family, Henateaks Boya, a dyeing and finishing company, has evolved a lot over the past decade. When several of their major clients filed for bankruptcy they weathered the financial storm by relying on their innovative dyeing process. Dyeing is the process of coloring the knitted, raw fabric. It is a resource heavy process that uses a lot of water and traditionally creates a lot of waste. Henateaks uses a circular water system which uses water from the local river and treats and cleans it before and after use. Their process has been certified by every major oversite organization, and we’re proud to have them as a partner.

All production of AMENDI labels, tags, and trims (except paper hang tags which are produced in Denmark) are made in Turkey with an independent A-TEX supplier. We chose this option as all production is in Turkey and this method provides the shortest transportation routes to our manufacturing partners, making it a more manageable and transparent supply chain.

KOMONTEKS (STROM DENIM) was founded in 2008 by Kadri Kayhan and originally focused on manufacturing premium denim products for the Turkish market. Since then Komonteks has evolved into a world-leading denim manufacturer and a pioneer in sustainable technology. In 2013 Mr. Omer Mert, and his friend and colleague, Baris Izcimen, were working as merchandisers at a competing denim manufacturer. They were impressed and intrigued enough by Strom’s success and forward-thinking vision that they left their jobs and became partners in Strom. Today Omer, Baris, and Mirac, Kadri Kayhan’s son, lead and manage all daily operations.
Strom’s first factory is fully vertical, meaning all the steps for production: cutting, sewing, washing, etc., are done under one roof. This allows for greater quality control, a more transparent supply chain, and a smaller carbon footprint. In 2019 Strom was excited to open a new cut and sew warehouse only a few kilometers away from their first factory. Both factories share a state-of-the-art laundry facility that is updated with the latest technology for creating wash effects on denim such as water-saving E-flow nano-bubble washing machines, ozone machines, and waterless laser applicators.

Strom’s focus is to grow by partnering with premium brands that appreciate their quality craftsmanship, careful attention to detail, quality working standards for employees, and progressive technologies for cleaner production. They have no interest in working with larger retail chains.
