“ITM 2026 Is a Major Opportunity for Us as One of the Most Important Industry Gatherings”
Interview: Tuğba KARADEMİR
Standing out with its environmentally focused solutions in the field of textile machinery and mechatronic systems, 2N Mekatronik contributes to the green transformation of the industry through emission control, energy recovery, and digital monitoring technologies. While the company considers the ITM 2026 Exhibition an important opportunity in terms of its global growth objectives, it also draws attention with its sustainability vision and R&D-driven approach.
Sustainability, energy efficiency, and compliance with environmental regulations are among the most critical agenda items of the textile machinery industry. Especially in stenter processes, emission control and heat recovery carry strategic importance for manufacturers both environmentally and economically. Standing out with its flue gas filter systems and heat recovery solutions developed with a 100% domestic production approach, 2N Mekatronik is preparing to showcase its innovative approach in this field at ITM 2026. We spoke with 2N Mekatronik General Manager Yasin Özaydın about the company’s areas of expertise, its 2025 performance, digital transformation steps, and future goals.
Could you detail the product groups your company specializes in within the field of textile machinery and mechatronic systems? Which industry needs do the innovative technologies you have developed address?
As 2N Mekatronik, we have specialized particularly by focusing on the environmental problems of the textile industry. Our main product groups are industrial flue gas filter systems specifically designed for stenter (ram) machines, heat recovery systems, and industrial custom machine projects. Established in Tekirdağ in 2017, our company developed Turkey’s first flue gas filter system with 100% domestic production. Among our recent innovative technologies, systems that efficiently filter smoke, vapor, and gases emitted from stenter chimneys stand out. These systems reduce oil vapors and particulates generated during textile production, prevent air pollution, make waste oils recyclable, and increase energy efficiency. These solutions directly address the industry’s needs for sustainability, compliance with environmental regulations, and reduction of energy costs.
“Despite the Challenges in the Sector, Interest in Our Sustainable Solutions Has Made Us More Competitive”
How did 2025 go for 2N Mekatronik? How do you evaluate the year overall in terms of production capacity, sales performance, R&D activities, and export volume?
The year 2025 was a strong growth year for our company. With the investments we made in our new 2,000 m² facility in Ergene, Tekirdağ, we increased our production capacity by 30%; this increase ran parallel to the rising demand for flue gas filter systems. While our sales performance remained strong in the domestic market, we experienced a significant increase in demand with the growing environmental awareness. We continued our R&D activities without slowing down and developed new prototypes for heat recovery systems. Our export volume grew with the first steps taken toward neighboring countries and the Russian market. Overall, we evaluate the year positively; despite the challenges in the sector, the interest in our sustainable solutions made us more competitive.
What were the prominent trends in the textile machinery sector in 2025? What were the main challenges you faced during the year, and what strategies did you develop to address them?
In 2025, sustainability, energy efficiency, and digital automation trends came to the forefront in the textile machinery sector. With the tightening of environmental regulations, demand for emission control systems increased, and green production and circular economy approaches gained momentum. The main challenges were global supply chain disruptions, fluctuations in energy prices, and increases in raw material costs. In response, we leveraged our domestic production advantage to strengthen stock management, developed cost-reducing innovations through R&D, and offered flexible payment and financing options to our customers. With these strategies, we maintained and increased our market share.
“We Integrated IoT-Based Monitoring Modules into Our Flue Gas Filter Systems”
How has the rapid development of digitalization, automation, and Industry 4.0 transformed your product portfolio and production approach? Could you share concrete applications you have developed in these areas?
Digitalization and Industry 4.0 enabled our product portfolio to evolve toward smart systems. We integrated IoT-based monitoring modules into our flue gas filter systems, making real-time data analysis possible. In our production approach, we increased automation and adopted advanced manufacturing systems. Concrete applications include PLC-controlled automatic cleaning features in filter systems and sensor-based energy optimization in heat recovery units. This transformation both improved our product quality and provided our customers with more efficient solutions with lower operating costs.
What technological solutions do you offer in response to textile manufacturers’ increasing demands for speed, quality, sustainability, and energy efficiency? How do these solutions provide a competitive advantage?
Our main solutions for textile manufacturers’ demands are high-filtration-efficiency flue gas systems and heat recovery units. These technologies recover waste heat from the stenter process, reduce steam consumption in boilers, minimize emissions to protect against environmental penalties, and recycle waste oils to create additional revenue. In terms of speed and quality, our systems prevent production interruptions, while in terms of sustainability, they ensure compliance with green certifications. The competitive advantages provided to manufacturers can be summarized as price competitiveness through lower energy costs, access to international markets through environmentally friendly production, and long-term operational savings.
“Interest in the 2N Mekatronik Brand Is Increasing in Global Markets.”
In which regions are your export activities mainly concentrated? How do you evaluate the interest and demand for the 2N Mekatronik brand in global markets?
Our export activities are mainly concentrated in Europe, the Middle East, Russia, and the Turkic Republics. Interest in the 2N Mekatronik brand is steadily increasing in global markets; our 100% domestic and environmentally focused solutions are preferred as they align with sustainability trends. Demand is rising, particularly in countries where emission control regulations are becoming stricter. The reliability of our brand and our innovative approach create a positive perception in the international arena.
The ITM 2026 Exhibition holds great importance for the sector. At what stage are your preparations for the exhibition? Could you provide information about the new products, prototypes, or technologies you plan to showcase?
The ITM 2026 Exhibition is one of the most important gatherings of the sector and represents a major opportunity for us as well. Our preparations are at an advanced stage; the booth design has been completed, and our participation has been finalized. Among the innovations we plan to exhibit are next-generation flue gas filter systems with higher efficiency and IoT integration, as well as heat recovery prototypes. We will particularly highlight our technologies focused on energy efficiency and zero emissions. We will introduce our products to visitors through live demos and technical presentations.
“We Aim to Strengthen Our Leading Position in the Green Transformation of the Sector”
What are your goals and expectations for 2026? What kind of roadmap are you planning in areas such as product development, new market expansion, production investments, or digital transformation?
Our goals for 2026 include increasing our sales by 40%, raising our export ratio to 30%, and launching new products. In product development, we will work on smarter and more modular filter systems. For new market expansion, we are targeting textile centers in Europe and the Middle East. In terms of production investments, we will acquire automation equipment to expand our factory capacity. In digital transformation, we will increase investments in ERP system integration and digital marketing. Our roadmap is built on a strategy centered on sustainable growth, R&D-driven innovation, and customer satisfaction. We aim to strengthen our leading position in the green transformation of the sector.
