Wholesale athletic & sports socks from Turkey
Performance socks with Coolmax and poly-cotton blends, arch compression and cushioned zones for running, football and gym brands.
Turkey is one of the largest sock exporters to the EU thanks to dense circular-knitting clusters around Istanbul and Corlu running Lonati and Sangiacomo machines. Factories hold combed-cotton and bamboo yarns in stock, so custom-logo and private-label programs move from tech pack to shipment in weeks, not months — with EU-friendly logistics and OEKO-TEX yarns as standard.
How production works
Send artwork, size run and yarn choice. Most sock factories quote within 24-72 hours, knit a sample, then run linking, boarding and packing (single pairs, bands or hangers) in one facility. Plan one sample round for logo and gauge approval; combed-cotton and athletic programs are typically stock-yarn, while bamboo and merino may add 1-2 weeks for yarn sourcing.
