Middle East's biggest industrial textiles manufacturing plant has been inaugurated in Kermanshah city of western Iran.
The facility houses a capacity to produce 15,000 tons of industrial textiles per annum, including polyester, conveyor belt, industrial liners, and tire cord worth around US$ 100 million.
The plant's production would be able to meet around 33 percent of Iran's present annual demand of 45-50 thousand tons.
Inauguration of the new plant has generated 250 new direct employment opportunities, which is likely to grow to 350 direct and 2,000 indirect employment opportunities in future.
