Tehran to Host Intl. Exhibition of Chandeliers, Functional & Decorative Lights

The 29th edition of Iran’s International Exhibition of Chandeliers, Functional and Decorative Lights will kick off at the Tehran Permanent International Fairgrounds on November 24, the head of Tehran Chandelier Manufacturers Union announced.

The exhibition will run through November 27, Hamid Reza Manafi said, speaking in an interview with IRNA. He put the export value of the chandelier industry in the last three years at about US$10 million.

The high quality of the products of chandeliers manufactured in the country makes them competitive with the similar products of other countries in the international arena, he said, adding that the chandelier industry has the capacity to export its products to other countries including Turkey, Syria and the Persian Gulf littoral states and this requires branding and introducing products.

Manafi put the existing number of chandelier manufacturing factories and workshops in the country at between 2,000 and 3,000. - Tasnim
