Rosa Takaya, CEO of Super Wear, said on the sidelines of the Tehran
event that the company, which produces apparel exported to France, Italy, and
Belgium, met with multiple Iranian firms specializing in polymer raw materials
and viscose threads. “These meetings were extremely valuable. We now plan to
pursue distributorships for Iranian polymer products in Tunisia and neighboring
markets across North and Sub-Saharan Africa,” she told NIPNA.
Takaya, attending IranPlast for the first time, praised the exhibition
for providing direct exposure to Iran’s industrial capacities. She said she
intends to share her experiences with Tunisian business networks and export
unions to encourage further participation in similar events.
“The collaboration can be mutually beneficial: introducing Iranian
capabilities to African markets and African products to Iran,” Takaya said. She
added that she hopes to leverage governmental support to facilitate shipping,
logistics, and financial transactions.
Takaya described her visit to Iran as eye-opening. “The reality I
observed in Iran—socially, economically, and culturally—differs significantly
from what foreign media often portray. Iran is active, reliable, and equipped
with the infrastructure necessary for international cooperation,” she said.
