A Vertically Integrated Business Model
Oriental Weavers has complete control over the manufacturing process.
 Raw material procurement: The wool is sourced from suppliers in Egypt, New Zealand and the UK;
Polypropylene granules are sourced from local and regional suppliers.
 Fiber extrusion: Raw wool and PP granules are converted into fibers and then spun into yarn. OW
produces internally 100% of its own polypropylene fibers and 60% of its nylon needs.
 Weaving & Tufting: The carpets are woven at one of our facilities in Egypt, China or the US,
depending on the end user. The designs are determined by the customer needs; we offer more than
4 million copyrighted designs to choose from.
 Retail & Distribution: Locally, the rugs are sold through our 244 retail & wholesale outlets.
Internationally, rugs are distributed worldwide through our list of prominent agents. In the US, rugs
are distributed through OW USA.

Slide 4
Positive triggers for OW
1. The US Tit for Tat tariffs on imports from China and Turkey should open more room for growth.
2. Turkey’s exporters must convert 80 percent of their foreign exchange revenue into lira within 180 days of
receiving payment. The measure went into effect from Sept 4 and will last six months. This will cause more
pressure on exporters.
3. Pending export subsidy collection (EGP 400 million).
4. Reviving demand in the local market.
5. A 5% increase in local selling prices starting September.
