In the last process, it was informed that the production of the brands stopped and that they would review their relations with Özak Tekstil.
Today, the factory announced that it has made a transfer to Kübrateks.
Kubrateks already belonged to the Ozak holding. now Özak is handing over its factories to Kübrateks, which also belongs to it. The owners are the same, they just change names. In the announcement posted at the factory, Özak Tekstil announced that the transfer process was carried out to Kübrateks...
