Manufacturing Programme
Fersan Tekstil is a vertically integrated polyester knitted fabric manufacturer in Çorlu, Türkiye — yarn to knitting, HT dyeing to heat-setting, ~750 tonnes a month since 1982. In the elastane programme the elastane is fed with the knit itself: stretch and recovery are built into the fabric by structure, not by finish.
The “4-way stretch” label is used loosely in the market; we draw the line clearly. True 4-way — stretch in both width and length with snap-back recovery — is the job of elastane interlock in this programme: the double-bed structure works with elastane in both directions. Elastane jersey, piqué, rib and French terry deliver 2-way comfort stretch that runs mainly widthwise: they follow the body and hold their shape, but they are not built to stretch every way as a legging must.
We spell this distinction out for a commercial reason: pieces that stretch in every direction — leggings, sports bras, bodysuits — need 4-way; for fitted tees, stretch polos and slim sweats, 2-way is usually the right and more economical choice. The wrong structure comes back as returns and fit complaints; protecting the buyer from the wrong fabric is part of the quotation. We supply Western Europe, Russia and the CIS, and regularly produce to the test standards of European sports and apparel brands.

We build the stretch-and-recovery target from the garment: elastane share, knit and heat-setting are chosen for your pattern, and elongation and recovery behaviour are test-reported after repeated washing — elastane’s heat sensitivity is managed inside our dyeing and setting window. Quotation requests are answered within 2 business days.

A 2-way fabric stretches mainly on one axis (usually widthwise); a 4-way fabric stretches in both width and length and recovers when released. In this programme true 4-way is the elastane interlock; the other elastane structures are comfort-stretch class — and we state that distinction just as plainly in the quotation.
Pieces stretched in every direction that must recover: leggings, sports bras, bodysuits, compression tops. For fitted tees, polos and sweats, 2-way elastane structures are usually sufficient and better costed.
Elongation and recovery are test-reported after repeated washing; since elastane is heat-sensitive, dyeing and setting temperatures are kept within its window. The report joins your shipment file.
MOQ is 500–1,000 kg per colour; the exact figure is confirmed with your quotation. Trial volumes during development are discussed case by case.
Typical lead time is 3–4 weeks from order confirmation to dispatch; we work EXW, FOB or DAP. Quotation requests are answered within 2 business days.
