Ruhabat Fabrics Shine at Altyn Asyr Center

The textile industry in Turkmenistan is experiencing steady growth, with an impressive array of fabrics from the Ruhabat Textile Complex now showcased at the «Altyn Asyr» marketing center in Ashgabat. This development underscores the nation’s commitment to enhancing its textile sector.

Once a prominent center for sericulture on the Silk Road, Turkmenistan is revitalizing its legacy by advancing modern textile manufacturing. The «Altyn Asyr» center has quickly become a prime location for purchasers searching for premier fabrics under the “Made in Turkmenistan” brand.

The center features a broad variety of textiles, including gabardine, satin, viscose, poplin, cotton flannel, ripstop, tarpaulin, and cretonne. The majority of these products are crafted at the Ruhabat Textile Complex, which has been operational since 2010.

Evolving into a comprehensive production facility, the complex integrates spinning, weaving, and dyeing. It specializes in blending domestic cotton with polyester and lycra for its yarns, alongside fulfilling custom orders that are often exported internationally.

Recently, the fabric selection has diversified to include modern hues and floral designs, particularly ideal for outerwear. Besides raw materials, the complex also produces finished items like traditional headscarves, tablecloths, and prayer rugs.

The distinct quality and cultural essence of Turkmen textiles have earned them a position in global markets. International certifications and an increasing interest from overseas partners illustrate their growing competitiveness.

The government is promoting innovation within the textile space by launching online shopping platforms. Looking ahead, the upcoming Turkmen Textile Expo in Ashgabat will highlight the industry’s accomplishments and future prospects, marrying tradition with modern technologies.
