EPA Akın to Highlight Toria and Marvela Systems at ITM 2026
Founded in 1989 with a focus on manufacturing shirt finishing machines, EPA Akın is today among the groups with the world’s broadest and most active machine portfolios in this field. From the very beginning, the company has concentrated on its core expertise, and after 2003 it significantly expanded its product range by developing custom-made machines tailored to customer needs, in addition to shirt machinery.
Responding directly to rising automation demands and increasing labor costs in recent years, EPA Akın has drawn particular attention with its EPA 5001 and EPA 5002 Automatic Folding and Packaging Machines. These machines have seen demand well above expectations in the Turkish market, providing manufacturers with significant savings in labor costs as well as major advantages in production speed and consistent quality standards. By continuously improving these machines, the company has also begun to establish a strong presence in international markets as of 2025.
Production with a Focus on Energy Efficiency and Human Health
Since its establishment, EPA Akın has placed energy efficiency, environmental compatibility, and human health at the core of its production philosophy. With a certified manufacturing structure that complies with international standards, the company aims to reduce environmental impact while prioritizing operator safety and ergonomic design in its machines.
EPA Machines Operating in More Than 60 Countries
EPA Akın also holds a strong position in exports, with its machines actively operating in more than 60 countries worldwide. The fact that many EPA machines have been running smoothly for over 20 years in various markets clearly demonstrates the company’s commitment to quality, durability, and long-lasting production.
Emphasizing that expectations for automation, mass production, quality control, and flexibility are rapidly increasing in the textile and apparel industries, EPA Akın responds to these changes through continuous development of new machines and systems. As production conditions in Türkiye become increasingly challenging, the company has moved toward establishing manufacturing facilities abroad and continues to develop new and different machine solutions within the EPA Group.
Custom Orders and Tailor-Made Solutions
Well aware of the growing diversity in customer demands, EPA Akın designs its machines to be as flexible and suitable for custom production as possible. Evaluating the increasing number of custom orders in recent periods, the company aims to offer holistic solutions by collaborating with relevant committee members even in areas outside its core expertise.
Highlighting that 2025 was a challenging year, EPA Akın expresses hope that 2026 will be a more balanced period. The company plans to bring the production facilities it has established in two different countries into full operation in 2026. This move is expected to further strengthen EPA’s competitive position in global markets.
Preparing for ITM 2026 with a Strong Showcase
For EPA Akın, the ITM Exhibition has held strategic importance for many years. Known for its knowledgeable and international visitor profile that closely follows innovations, ITM will once again host the company’s standout solutions. At ITM 2026, EPA Akın plans to highlight the Toria high-heat bonding systems and Marvela tunnel pressing systems developed within the EPA Group.
Through ITM 2026, EPA Akın aims to convey to global visitors its vision of being an innovative, reliable, sustainable, and long-term solution partner in a strong and compelling manner.
