ISTANBUL—Textile engineer and veteran fabric sourcing specialist is turning his focus to the contract fabric business in the USA.

Coskun, who represents 20 Turkish mills, feels the timing is right to develop new fabrics for the hospitality trade as that business segment starts to turn around in the States.

He has been in the industry since 1996 with his own company BSB Sourcing since 2002.

Turkey is gaining momentum in exports due in part to its currency dropping, almost eight lira to the US$.
