Since its establishment in 1976 as the first foam company in Anatolia, Turkey, Yatas Group has been taking firm steps towards becoming a global brand in bedding and furniture industries with its stylish, high qualitive and functional products and services. At Yatas, we place customer satisfaction at the core of our business, and aim to establish long term relationships by providing them with the top quality products reflecting the latest trends and innovations along with our unmatched customer service. As the leading furniture and mattress brand of Turkey, Yatas was named as the “Superbrand” of Turkey by the independent brand rating agency Superbrands, which operates in over 80 countries worldwide, in 2010. Today, the company continues its rapid expansion in the global arena by bringing its top quality products and superior services to consumers in over 30 countries including Germany, England, Netherlands, France, Italy, Hungary, Switzerland, Romania, Albania, Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Morocco, Georgia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, India, South Africa, Pakistan, Qatar, Lebanon, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Egypt. Yatas Group products are offered under two main retail brands: Yatas Bedding and Enza Home. In March 2018, Yatas Group has acquired Divan, another Turkish producer of furniture and bedding products operating in the country for over 45 years, in order to grow its domestic and global market share even further. Following the same branding structure of Yatas Bedding and Enza Home, Divan products will also be available under two separate retail brands: Divan Sleep for all bedding products, and Divan Home for furniture and accessories.
