Our Story
Insulating
the Future
Inspired by nature, we produce sustainable, eco-friendly, and health-conscious insulation solutions. At Marterm, we protect not just buildings, but the future itself.
Corporate
We, as Marterm...
We were established with the aim of bringing a breath of fresh air to the insulation sector, placing energy efficiency and sustainability at the core of our operations. In a time when our planet faces climate crises, we are proud to offer a completely natural, recyclable, and healthy alternative to synthetic products that harm the environment.
By conducting our R&D studies in the accredited laboratories of Gaziantep University, we discovered the superior acoustic and thermal insulation capacity of our national asset, goat hair. By combining this discovery with our patented production algorithms, we’ve achieved a performance increase of up to 60% compared to traditional products in the sector.
Today, Marterm felt developed at our production facility is used in many different application areas, primarily roof, wall, floor, and acoustic insulation. Our products, preferred in the construction sector as an eco-friendly alternative, reflect our commitment to protecting both human health and the environment.
R&D & Patent
Patented R&D Technology
Our production algorithm, developed as a result of comprehensive tests and research conducted in the accredited laboratories of Gaziantep University, maximizes the insulation potential of goat hair, our country's national asset.
- Gaziantep University Collaboration: Accredited tests to ISO 11092, ISO 8301, ISO 9053, and ASTM E 1050 standards.
- Patented Production Algorithm: High density and durability achieved with needle-punching fixation technique.
- 60% Higher Performance: Proven superior performance compared to traditional rock wool and polyester felt.
Nomadic Economy
By utilizing waste goat hair collected from small livestock farmers of Southeast Anatolia, we contribute to the national economy while bringing historical heritage together with modern technology.
Our Vision
To be the reference point in the insulation sector by bringing the potential of natural materials together with innovation; to build comfortable and secure living spaces while protecting the ecological balance.
Our Mission
To design high-performance, eco-friendly, and health-conscious products with innovative technologies, offering a green alternative to the construction industry.

Material Science
The Unique Structure of Goat Hair
Each fiber carries millions of years of nature's evolutionary heritage.
Scaly Keratin Structure
A unique surface structure that traps sound waves and increases flow resistance.
Hygroscopic Capacity
Balances ambient humidity by absorbing 15% moisture, preventing mold and bacteria formation.
Long Lifespan
Maintains its form and performance for decades thanks to its natural durability.
Thin & Lightweight
Saves space with a structure 40% thinner than rock wool.
Natural Fire Resistance
Thanks to nitrogen and sulfur content, it has high ignition resistance and is non-flammable.
Eco-Friendly
100% naturally sourced, biologically degradable, and recyclable structure.
