The mentioned company was established in 1975. It was known as “Hekmat Import Export”, and used to be involved in the general trading on commission basis. In 1982, the company stopped working due to the hard economic circumstances.

 

However, in the year 2000, the company was re-opened by Mr. Samir Khouzam in cooperation with Messrs Tok and Sha'ar.  They are in process of preparing the new trade registration under the name of Mrs. Aida Farah (the Wife of Mr. Khouzam)  

 

According to the person interviewed, the company is planning to export glass to Sudan.

 

Further, competition is very strong, but as it has been explained, the company copes with it by introducing high quality products on competitive prices, through an effective marketing process.  

 

Additionally, company’s type and number of customers are wholesalers, factories, public & private sector companies (60).

 

Moreover, subject’s current contracts are as follows:

 

1]         Homs Refinery, with a value of 10.000.000 Syrian Liras (S.L.)

2]         Al Rastan Cement Company, with a value of 3.000.000 Syian Liras (S.L.)
