Riley stated: “
Owning the largest Chromojet printing facility in the world (Mac Carpets) gives us a great competitive edge when we add a full line of printed carpets to our global hospitality product offering.”

We welcome OW Hospitality’s partnership with naseba over the course of four key initiatives during 2012. Given our proven track record of facilitating deal flow platforms throughout the Middle East, OWH have an opportunity to meet and do business with clientele they may have never previously had the opportunity to meet,” explained naseba Managing Director, Fabien Faure. “
In order to utilise global assets and take advantage of the organisation’s (OWH) worldwide corporate structure and management team, we have decided to fully integrate the hospitality operation under the key management structure currently in place for all other flooring related businesses,” said Egyptian Industrialist Mohamed Farid Khamis, the company’s Chairman.
