Afghan Bazar Company has more than 60 years of experience in carpet industry and has popularity both inside and outside Afghanistan.

The Company was first founded in 1950 in Kabul and operated under the name of Haji Rahman Qul Ltd. with branches in Germany and Switzerland.

In 1960s, due to internal wars and insecurity in the country, the Company moved to Pakistan and started business by the name of Qazaq Carpets. For the first time, it introduced the Qazaq Carpet Design to the market which still is one of the most famous carpet designs in international markets. The Company could gain popularity in a short time in Pakistan and become one of the biggest manufacturers of carpet.

After the collapse of Taliban Regime and when the company was assured of a good and secure opportunity of investment in Afghanistan, it returned to Afghanistan and invested 1 million USD in carpets industry in 2014. The name was changed to Afghan Bazar Carpets Manufacturing Company.

Since its re-establishment in Afghanistan, Afghan Bazar has been able to provide major employment opportunities and help the development of agriculture and animal husbandry. Right now, more than 4300 households are benefited directly and indirectly.

The Company’s main products are handmade carpets and kilims, which all the production process takes place inside Afghanistan. These products have different names and labels due to varying designs and qualities. Some famous carpet designs are: Chobrang, Qazaq, Aqcha, Farhan etc. Famous kilim designs are: Maimana Kilim, Modern Kilim and Khodrang Kilim.

Carpets are mostly manufactured in various designs and qualities, based on customers’ orders and preferences (except Aqcha Carpets, which are produced for stock). Kilims are produced regularly for stock and are sold to customers when demanded. Recently, as the demand for kilims has grown, partly the kilims are produced based on orders.

Beside these products, the Company has significant services too; such as: carpet washing, cutting, wool and warp dying, carpets finishing, and repairing and restoration of antique carpets.

Proudly, the Company’s services are highly ranked by the market; specially the carpets washing and restoration service, which are regarded interestedly by famous carpet designers and companies.
