“Made in Syria” Export Exhibition marks Aleppo’s factories return to active production
The “Made in Syria” Specialized Export Exhibition for Clothes and Textile, currently held in Damascus, presents the best products of Aleppo factories and workshops which have returned to work with strong determination to achieve competitiveness and quality, hoping that export markets will be promising in the near future.
The industrial sector in Aleppo was the target of Turkish-backed terrorist groups who destroyed industrial facilities, dismantled and looted the factories and smuggled them to Turkey in cooperation with Turkish occupation forces.
Some Aleppo industrialists participating in the exhibition talked to SANA about their products, stressing hope that their goods will find markets in Arab countries, particularly in Iraq.
They noted contacts with Syrian expatriates with the aim of promoting the Syrian products in the markets of Europe and Latin America.
The industrialists clarified the difficulties that face their work, including getting the raw materials necessary for their production process, unstable prices, the unjust blockade imposed by Western countries on Syria as well as the shipping problems.
They went on to say that Syrian clothes are deemed both fashionable and popular in Iraq and Libya because of their high quality.
They hoped that the Syrian products would return to the Algerian, Sudanese and Gulf markets as in the past, pointing out that they signed several memos and deals during the days of the exhibition.
