A Tunisian business executive praised Iran’s extensive capabilities in polymer and plastic raw materials, calling IranPlast a valuable opportunity for launching commercial ties between Iran, Tunisia and African markets.
Speaking on the sidelines of IranPlast 2025 in Tehran, the CEO of Super Wear Company, Raoudha Tekaya, described the event as a valuable platform for foreign delegations to engage directly with Iran’s industrial potential.
“I appreciate the organizers for facilitating this platform which allows international delegates to explore Iran’s industrial capacities,” she said.
Tekaya noted that Super Wear manufactures a range of garments and exports to European countries including France, Italy, and Belgium.
“During my first visit to IranPlast, I met with several Iranian companies specializing in polymer compounds, raw materials, and viscose yarns,” she said.
“These meetings were highly constructive,” she said, adding, “We are now considering acquiring distribution rights for polymer products in Tunisia, with plans to expand into neighboring markets such as North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa.”
She added that IranPlast provided a firsthand look at Iran’s industrial infrastructure, particularly in plastics and polymer capacity.
“Upon returning to Tunisia, I plan to share my experience with fellow exporters and business leaders in trade unions and chambers of commerce to encourage future participation,” she added.
“This collaboration can be reciprocal. It introduces Iran’s potential to African market and African goods can also find demand in Iran,” Tekaya noted.
Expressing optimism about future cooperation, she called for government support in maritime logistics, goods transfer, and financial transactions to facilitate industrial partnerships.
“IranPlast marks the beginning of this journey and we are highly motivated to build relationships with Iranian companies,” she said.
Tekaya concluded by reflecting on her visit to Iran, saying the country’s social, economic, and cultural realities differed significantly from foreign media portrayals.
“Iran is vibrant, trustworthy, and well-equipped for international collaboration,” she said.
Iran’s 19th International Exhibition of Raw Material, Plastics, Rubber, Machinery and Equipment, known as IranPlast 2025, kicked off on September 8 in Tehran and will run to September 11.
