Expanding its production facilities, Oriental Carpets has opened a new polyester yarn dyeing facility at Oriental Weavers International premises in the 10th Ramadan City in Egypt.
Built with a total investment of 50 million Egyptian pounds (approximately $1.06 million as of May 15, 2025), this new unit supports the company's ongoing efforts to improve production efficiency and better meet increasing demand. This initiative is a part of Oriental Weavers' dedication to achieving sustainable growth through enhanced energy and resource efficiency.
Equipped with cutting-edge machinery, this new unit includes four soft winding machines, one dyeing machine, one rinsing unit, one drying unit, and four final winding machines. It is designed to handle approximately 25 per cent of the company's polyester yarn requirements, with a daily production capacity of up to 4.75 tons. This expansion will allow Oriental Weavers to improve quality control, lower production costs, and respond more quickly to market demands.
The unit also incorporates high energy and water efficiency compared to traditional dyeing methods, contributing to a smaller carbon footprint across Oriental Weavers' industrial operations.
Yasmine Khamis, Chairwoman, Oriental Weavers Carpets, states, the launch of this new unit marks a significant milestone in the company’s continued commitment to innovation and market demands. By localizing polyester yarn dyeing, it not only enhances production capabilities with high-quality products but also strengthen Egypt's manufacturing base and economy. This ensures its leadership in the global carpet industry, offering superior polyester yarns with enhanced durability, vibrant colors, and exceptional quality.
Polyester yarn has become a preferred raw material in carpet manufacturing globally due to its superior characteristics, such as excellent dyeability, resilience, sheen, and UV resistance. In addition to these technical advantages, the new unit will create nearly 40 new job opportunities, supporting local employment and contributing to industrial development.
With manufacturing plants in both Egypt and the United States, Oriental Weavers continues to expand its production footprint to meet growing demand both domestically and internationally, reinforcing its position as a global leader in the carpet industry.
