The İTUTEK technical visits offered students the chance to explore leading companies' production facilities while engaging in cultural discoveries in İzmir, Manisa, and Denizli.

The Istanbul Technical University Textile Engineering Club organized comprehensive technical visits that combined industrial experience with cultural exploration. Students had the opportunity to examine production facilities of globally recognized companies and discover the cultural heritage of the İzmir, Manisa, and Denizli regions.

The first stop on the technical trip was the Hugo Boss factory in İzmir. Students had the chance to closely observe the production processes of this globally renowned brand and explore workplace conditions firsthand. The journey continued in Manisa, where the group visited the production facilities of TYH Tekstil, a leading company in ready-to-wear and fabric production. Students gained insights into both the technological infrastructure and working conditions of the industry. After the technical visits, the group concluded their trip with a tour of the ancient city of Ephesus, blending history with culture.

In Denizli, a city renowned for its home textiles, the group visited companies such as Menderes Tekstil, Ozanteks, and Efesan. These visits provided an in-depth look at production processes, technological advancements, and quality management practices. The program concluded with a cultural tour of Pamukkale’s travertines.

These visits organized by the İTÜ Textile Engineering Club allowed students to enhance their academic knowledge and gain new perspectives on the textile industry. The hands-on exposure also provided valuable insights into potential future work environments, according to participating students.

İTÜ Faculty of Textile Technologies and Design

Textile Engineering Department of Istanbul Technical University (İTÜ) is the first and the single one offering textile engineering education in Istanbul, and also comes first among the top textile engineering schools in Turkey. Its history could be traced back to 1955; the year in which the textile division was established in the body of Mechanical Engineering. The school gained its current name and independent status in 1983. Therefore, it is obvious that the Textile Engineering Department is fairly new compared to the history of İTÜ stretching back to 240 years.
