Kayseri furniture manufacturers are concentrated in the city's organized industrial zone, and they specialise in upholstered seating, bed bases and mattresses rather than in panel furniture alone. For an importer or wholesaler this matters in a practical way: one trip, or one supplier, can cover both the living room and the bedroom side of an order.
ellda mobilya is a furniture manufacturer in Kayseri, Türkiye, producing sofa sets, corner sofas, bed base sets and mattresses since 2010. We wrote this guide for buyers outside Türkiye who keep seeing Kayseri in supplier lists and want to know what the city actually makes, where its factories are, how large the cluster is and how to approach it. Figures are dated and sourced; last verified 1 November 2026.
What Kayseri furniture manufacturers make
Kayseri is one of Türkiye's main furniture production centres, alongside Istanbul, Bursa (İnegöl), Ankara and İzmir. Its particular strength is upholstered and bedroom furniture: sofa sets, corner sofas, armchairs, bed bases with storage, headboards and mattresses. Around those factories sits a supply chain of foam, spring, mechanism, fabric and frame suppliers, which is one reason a Kayseri manufacturer can usually make both seating and bedding in the same plant.
For a buyer this has two consequences. First, you can plan a mixed order with one supplier instead of sourcing sofas in one city and mattresses in another; our guide to mixed container furniture shipping explains how such a load is planned. Second, questions about construction (frame, foam, springs, fabric) are answered by the people who make the product, not by a trading office. The difference between the two is set out in furniture suppliers in Turkey.
Kayseri in numbers
The figures below come from the chamber of industry, the industrial zone administration and the sector association. They are not all from the same year and they do not define "furniture company" the same way, so quote them with their source and date.
| Figure | Value | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Companies registered in furniture manufacturing in Kayseri province | More than 600 (TOBB industry database) | Kayseri Chamber of Industry (KAYSO), November 2023 |
| Kayseri's share of Turkish furniture exports | About 20% | KAYSO, November 2023 |
| Kayseri firms among the furniture companies in the Istanbul Chamber of Industry's top 500 and second 500 industrial enterprise lists | 8 of 11 (2022 data) | KAYSO, November 2023 |
| Furniture companies inside Kayseri Organized Industrial Zone | Around 440 | Kayseri OIZ chairman, quoted by Ekonomi Gazetesi, 2025 |
| Kayseri's place among exporting provinces, 2025 | In the top four after Istanbul, with İzmir and Gaziantep | TAİF figures reported by Türkiye Today, May 2026 |
Two points for reading the table. The chamber counts companies across the whole province, while the industrial zone counts only its own tenants, so the 600 and 440 figures do not contradict each other. Export shares depend on which customs codes are counted as furniture, and the chamber's 20% share is a 2023 figure; for the national picture and the full list of exporting provinces, see Turkish furniture exports.
Where the factories are: industrial zone or city
Kayseri furniture manufacturers are not all in one place, and the difference matters when you plan a visit.
Kayseri Organized Industrial Zone (OIZ). The large factories, including ours, are in the organized industrial zone outside the city centre. An OIZ is a planned industrial estate: production halls, warehouses and loading bays, not shops. Most OIZ factories do not sell to walk-in visitors and receive buyers by appointment.
City showrooms and small workshops. Inside the city there are furniture streets, retail showrooms and small industrial estates with workshops. Some belong to manufacturers, some to retailers of other factories' products. An address in the city is usually a sales point; an address in the OIZ is usually production.
Trading offices elsewhere. Many companies that list "Kayseri furniture" are offices in Istanbul or abroad that buy from Kayseri factories. That can be a legitimate route, but you should know which one you are dealing with before you compare quotes.
Our own factory is at Karpuzsekisi, 24. Sokak, Organize Sanayi Bölgesi No. 87, 38070 Hacılar, Kayseri. There is no retail sale there; buyers and dealer candidates visit by appointment.
How to find and shortlist Kayseri furniture manufacturers
Directories and "top manufacturers" lists give you names, but they rarely tell you who makes the product. These sources are more useful:
- The Anatolian Furniture Fair (ANAMOB). Held at the Kayseri OIZ International Fair Centre, ANAMOB brings the city's manufacturers together in one place. The fifth edition ran from 7 to 11 October 2026; we exhibited there and our news page shows the stand. A fair visit lets you compare many factories in a day and arrange plant visits for the days after.
- Chamber membership. Manufacturers are members of the Kayseri Chamber of Industry (KAYSO) or the Kayseri Chamber of Commerce. Membership confirms that a company exists and what activity it is registered for; it does not confirm capacity or quality.
- The trade registry. A Turkish company's registry record shows its legal name, address, capital and field of activity. Ask for the trade registry number and check that the registered address matches the factory you are shown.
- The factory itself. Nothing replaces a visit, or a video call from the production floor, before a first order.
When you have a shortlist, send each manufacturer the same enquiry so the quotes can be compared: models, piece counts, fabric and colour, destination and any market requirement such as a flammability label. Our list of questions to ask a sofa manufacturer covers what a good answer looks like.
Checklist: what to confirm before you compare Kayseri quotes
- Is the company the manufacturer, and is the factory address in its registry record?
- Which product groups does it make itself and which does it buy in?
- Can seating and bedding ship in one load, and is a loading plan part of the quote?
- Are the catalogue dimensions final, or do they vary by fabric and production lot?
- In which languages can production questions be answered?
- Are price, production time, minimum quantities and delivery terms written in the quote?
Why buyers choose Kayseri over other furniture cities
Istanbul has more exporters, and İnegöl is strong in panel and bedroom furniture. Buyers come to Kayseri specifically for upholstered seating and bedding, for four reasons.
- One roof for two product groups. Seating and bedding under one roof is common here, so a store that sells both can order both from one factory.
- Component suppliers next door. Foam, springs, mechanisms and fabrics are available locally, which shortens the chain between a fabric decision and a finished sofa.
- Central Anatolian location. Kayseri sits in the centre of the country, with road connections to the Mediterranean ports used for Gulf, African and Asian routes and to the Marmara region for Europe and the Balkans. Your forwarder will confirm the port that suits your destination.
- Manufacturers used to export work. With Kayseri among the top four exporting provinces in 2025, export packing, documents and foreign-language sales are routine for many Kayseri factories, although you should still confirm each point with the factory you choose.
Visiting Kayseri
Kayseri has its own airport, Erkilet, with domestic connections, so a factory visit does not require a long drive from Istanbul. Plan the visit around decisions: fabrics and finished pieces you want to see before approving a quote, the packing method, and the quality control step. Tell the factory which models you are interested in before you arrive so they can be on the floor.
If you combine the visit with ANAMOB in October, book factory appointments for the days after the fair, when the sales teams are back at the plant.
ellda mobilya: a Kayseri furniture manufacturer
We make four product groups in our own factory in Kayseri Organized Industrial Zone, on a 10,500 m² production area: sofa sets, corner sofas, bed base sets and mattresses, 80 models in total across the 2026 furniture catalogue and the 2025 bedding catalogue. Our team works in English, Arabic and Turkish. Price, production time, minimum quantities and delivery terms depend on the models, fabrics and destination, so they are stated in the quote rather than published. The production page shows the stages from quote approval to packing.
Next step
Shortlist the Kayseri manufacturers that make what you sell, send each the same enquiry and compare the written quotes. To include ellda, send your model list and destination through the export page, or ask for a visit date when you plan your trip.
