Solomon Carpet

Solomon Carpet is the international brand associated with Rasoul Isfahan Industrial Company, an Iranian textile manufacturer headquartered in Isfahan. The company produces acrylic and bulked continuous filament yarns as well as machine-made carpets in a broad range of sizes, patterns, densities, and fiber compositions. Its product portfolio includes acrylic staple and acrylic tow yarns, polyester and polypropylene yarns, and carpets made from acrylic, polyester, polypropylene, and silk-related synthetic yarns. The company was established in 1982 in the historic city of Isfahan by Hassan Kardan, Hossein Asadi, Reza Monzavizadeh, Ali Kardanpour, and other partners. Isfahan has long been associated with Iranian carpet production and design, and Solomon Carpet developed within that wider regional manufacturing tradition while focusing on industrial, machine-made production rather than exclusively hand-knotted carpets. Its vertically related yarn and carpet activities allow it to operate across important stages of the synthetic-textile and machine-carpet supply chain. Solomon Carpet is described as one of the leading manufacturers and exporters of machine-made carpets in the Middle East. Its products have been reported in markets including Canada, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Russia, the United Arab Emirates, South Korea, Singapore, and Oman. The company’s offering spans everyday and commercial machine-made carpets as well as higher-density decorative and institutional products. Reported silk-carpet densities range from 960 to 4,500, while the company also manufactures products using acrylic staple, acrylic tow, polyester, and polypropylene yarns. A notable production achievement came in 2019, when the company made a 700-square-meter machine-made carpet to order for the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Salalah, Oman. The commissioned carpet reportedly had a density of 3,600, weighed approximately 2,000 kilograms, and incorporated more than one billion knots. The project required about 50 days for design and 30 days for weaving and finishing. It illustrates Solomon Carpet’s ability to execute large-scale institutional commissions in addition to its regular production of standardized carpet lines. The company has also received recognition within Iran’s industrial sector. In 2019, Reza Rahmani, then Iran’s Minister of Industry, Mine and Trade, acknowledged Solomon Carpet as a prominent industrial unit of Isfahan province. Reported employment exceeded 1,150 workers. Bank Melli Iran has been identified as a financial sponsor of the company. The available reference material does not establish a public listing, a parent conglomerate, a formal corporate website, or a complete current management roster. Solomon Carpet is therefore best characterized as an active Iranian industrial carpet and yarn producer with export activity and a strong Isfahan manufacturing base.

Solomon Carpet was founded in 1982 in Isfahan, Iran, by Hassan Kardan, Hossein Asadi, Reza Monzavizadeh, Ali Kardanpour, and other partners. The business was registered as Rasoul Isfahan Industrial Company and developed a manufacturing model combining yarn production with machine-made carpet production. Its location in Isfahan connected the company to one of Iran’s best-known carpet-producing regions, while its industrial orientation enabled production at volumes and dimensions beyond the traditional hand-knotting model. The company’s textile operations expanded beyond a single carpet format. Solomon Carpet produces acrylic yarn, including acrylic staple and acrylic tow, as well as polyester and polypropylene yarns. These materials are used in machine-made carpets offered in different sizes, patterns, grades, and densities. The company also manufactures silk carpets and has reported densities ranging from 960 to 4,500. This combination of yarn and carpet capabilities gives Solomon Carpet a relatively broad position within the synthetic-textile and machine-carpet value chain. Over time, Solomon Carpet developed an export presence extending beyond Iran. Reported destination markets include Canada, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Russia, the United Arab Emirates, South Korea, Singapore, and Oman. The company has been described as one of the leading producers and exporters of machine-made carpets in the Middle East. Its reported workforce of more than 1,150 people indicates a substantial industrial operation, although the available sources do not provide a detailed breakdown of factories, production capacity, revenue, or export volumes. A significant milestone occurred in 2019, when the company completed a large machine-made carpet commissioned for the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Salalah, Oman. The reported carpet covered 700 square meters, had a density of 3,600, weighed about two tonnes, and contained more than one billion knots. Solomon Carpet stated that the piece took roughly 50 days to design and 30 days to weave and finish. The project demonstrated the company’s ability to produce large-format institutional carpets for prominent architectural settings. Also in 2019, Reza Rahmani, Iran’s Minister of Industry, Mine and Trade, recognized Solomon Carpet as a prominent industrial unit of Isfahan province. Bank Melli Iran was identified as a financial sponsor. The reference material names Reza Monzavizadeh and Ali Kardanpour as the current owners. Beyond these ownership details, publicly documented information about later leadership, corporate restructuring, financial performance, formal brand architecture, and current production facilities is limited. The available evidence supports describing Solomon Carpet as an active, export-oriented Iranian manufacturer of yarns and machine-made carpets rather than as a publicly listed consumer-facing multinational.
