Global manufacturer and marketer of home products WestPoint Home (WPH) has announced its decision to invest US $ 9 million for the third-phase expansion of its manufacturing complex in Bahrain.
With this, the company will have invested more than $25 million in expanding capacity, capabilities and environmental projects over the past three years, including weaving, spinning projects, expansion of automatic and manual sewing and embroidery work, the company said in a statement.
The company announced the expansion plans after a recently held meeting between WPH senior officials and the Minister of Industry, Commerce and Tourism, Zayed R Alzayani. Issues discussed at the meeting included measures to mitigate the impact of expiration of Tariff Preference Level (TPL), which allows duty-free access for textile exports from Bahrain to the US.
