The world’s largest producer of machine-woven carpets, Oriental Weavers Group (OW Group), has joined hands with DHL Global Forwarding (DHL) to deliver its popular rugs and carpets to customers worldwide. The leading international provider of air, ocean and road freight services will distribute its products via air and ocean freight primarily to the United States, Europe and across the Gulf region, including managing all corresponding customs clearance processes.
The value of Egypt’s exports of carpets and other textile floor covering was US$310.09 million in 2019[1] and despite the impact of weakening global supply chains on the textile sector, a key component of the Egypt’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Egypt’s GDP is expected to rebound to pre-COVID-19 levels by 2022. Industry observers are optimistic that the economy will be boosted by economic and structural reforms, and the logistics sector will play a vital role to support exports and economic recovery.
