One partner, end to end
Through our sister company Elteksan, knitting private-label socks in Istanbul since 1999, Sihman Inc. produces private-label and OEM socks end to end: knitting, linking, finishing, quality control and packaging. As a US company we import as the importer of record, so a US brand gets one landed price with duties inside it and no customs paperwork to handle, while Turkiye's location keeps lead times and transport short.
We don't offer design services; you bring the artwork and specification, and we manufacture it precisely, at scale, with consistent quality run after run.
