Brand positioning and origin

AYMER is a Turkish zipper manufacturer positioned between European and Asian supply chains. Turkey's garment industry combines proximity to European buyers with competitive production, and a Turkish zipper house of this kind typically serves both fast-fashion programmes and denim and outerwear brands.

The brand covers the main construction families rather than a single speciality. That breadth, combined with relatively short shipping times to Europe and flexible order sizes, is the basis of its commercial position.

Product range

The catalogue covers the main families and functional lines:

  • Metal zippers in brass and aluminium, #3 to #10, standard and Y-tooth profiles.
  • Moulded resin zippers in #3 to #10 for outerwear, denim and sportswear.
  • Nylon coil zippers, including invisible and two-way versions.
  • Waterproof and flame-retardant articles for workwear and outdoor programmes.
  • Custom pulls, tape colours and branded sliders for European private labels.

Typical applications

AYMER supplies denim and casualwear, outerwear, knitwear, sportswear, workwear, childrenswear and bags. Turkish production is particularly associated with denim, and metal articles for jeans and jackets form a significant part of the range alongside resin and coil articles for lighter garments.

A second advantage is proximity for European buyers: a Turkish order can be shipped by road or short sea, which suits reorders and in-season replenishment that would be difficult to serve from Asia on the same timetable.

Quality and compliance

Articles are tested for tooth strength, slider durability, colourfastness and corrosion resistance under a documented quality management system, with reference to ASTM D2061 and BS 3084. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and REACH restricted-substance documentation are available for much of the range. Specific certification is subject to the supplier's certificates.

Sourcing notes

Turkish suppliers typically offer shorter transit times to Europe and flexible minimum order quantities compared with Asian volume producers, though unit costs are usually higher. Sampling takes one to two weeks; bulk production commonly runs four to six weeks. Buyers should confirm whether special finishes are produced in-house, and request REACH documentation for European programmes.
