Mekan Yatak

The company starts its journey with 50 employees who produce around 100 mattresses daily. 1980 The first fully orthopaedic mattress is produced by MEKAN. Thanks to MEKAN, orthopaedic mattresses become widespread across Turkey. 1982 The workshop moves to its current location in Izmit. The production department grows to nearly 400 employees, while the sales department splits into 11 regional sales departments throughout Turkey. 1000 mattresses are now produced every day. 1984 MEKAN is one of the first pioneering companies to produce spring mattresses, and is responsible for developing this trend throughout Turkey. 1990 The product range is widened with the introduction of innovatively designed bespoke bed bases and headboards. The company continues to gain momentum by creating the right publicity through fairs, holiday promotions and long-term guarantees for products. 1998 A 6.3 magnitude earthquake destroys the Izmit workshop. 2000 MEKAN starts operating as a small-scale company focusing its sales towards hotels and exports. 2002 Ali Çalayan takes over from his father and rebuilds the workshop from the ruins, and equips it with state of the art machinery. 2003 MEKAN is now back in business! 2014 MEKAN decides to re-strengthen its dealer network in widespread sales across Turkey. 2016 MEKAN is given a new lease of life with new branding and a focused strategy based on sustainability and innovation. THE FAMILY EFFECT MEKAN has been in the hands of the same family from the very beginning and, with the new generation now taking the reins, it is still those hands which are leading the company into its future. Passion and a desire for innovation have always been at the heart of MEKAN, but these values are being given a new lease of life; they will become the backbone of a company where exciting product design meets sustainability and environmental awareness. The company has survived so long due to the dedication and enthusiasm of each individual family member, and the lasting love of providing a quality product and service. OUR EXPERTISE GUIDES US Having been in business for over 40 years, MEKAN is now one of the oldest mattress producers in Turkey. The wealth of knowledge and expertise that we have acquired over that time allows us to produce some of the finest quality mattresses and furniture found anywhere in the world. MEKAN is able to look to the traditions of the past while also having a firm eye on the advancements of the future; and it is this mixture, which we believe makes MEKAN great. MEKAN'S THREE S'S
