In a fast-forward evolving market, no one can stand still, and KMT-Komet Metal Accessories (Komet Metal Aksesuar) knows it well.
This highly specialized global closure manufacturer has been keenly focused on two main aspects that have led it since it was founded in 1996.
The company is extremely focused on offering always new and outstanding closures—be they buttons, buckles, snaps, eyelets, or keychains, to name a few product variants—produced according to the most advanced sustainable production methods.
Among the newest products they presented during Kingpins Amsterdam for f/w 2027/2028, there are, for instance, a vast selection of irregular and asymmetric metal buttons perfect for jeans, denim jackets, and many other casual and cool outfits.
The company also stands out for having achieved its OEKO-TEX STeP certification, as the only one in its category that has achieved and kept this recognition in the last five years.
This certification sets the highest standards for both social and environmental aspects of textile and leather production, as well as for industrial laundries. This certification is a sign of responsibility towards its employees and the environment and is part of the company’s journey aiming to achieve always more sustainable production standards.
KMT also proudly uses electricity that is 100% produced by windmills.
Another element that distinguished this closure specialist is the use of an inner polyamide component of its buttons made from recycled fishing nets, plastic bottles, and other waste collected in the Atlantic Ocean—differently from other button manufacturers who use plastic.
“Our company has a monthly productive capacity of 50,000,000 metal accessories. We are leaders in our market, as we are selling our products to 27 countries worldwide and serve all the major brands in the jeanswear and fashion market,” commented Emre Koçik, General Manager and Partner, Komet Metal Accessories.
“What further distinguishes us is our approach to production that is responsible both toward our workers and the environment. Not only do we use electricity 100% generated by windmills, but we have also achieved the highest rate in sustainable certifications, as we achieved the Oeko-Tex STeP, a certification that sums up the most demanding acknowledgements in this field,” he added.
The company was established in 1996 in Davutpaşa, in Istanbul, by Metin Allevi. Since 2017 it has moved to a larger 7,000 sq.-meter facility in Istanbul’s Beylikdüzü Organized Industrial Site.
The company’s headquarters contain a coating facility, a molding room, and handcrafted painting and assembly departments in accordance with European standards. It also specializes in producing zamak and brass accessories.
