The exhibition will run through November 27, Hamid Reza Manafi said, speaking in an interview with IRNA.

He put the export value of the chandelier industry in the last three years at about $10 million.

The high quality of the products of chandeliers manufactured in the country makes them competitive with the similar products of other countries in the international arena, he said, adding that the chandelier industry has the capacity to export its products to other countries including Turkey, Syria and the Persian Gulf littoral states and this requires branding and introducing products.
