BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 24. Uzbek home appliance
manufacturer Premier Electronics has signed a $2 million export
agreement with Syria’s major distribution company Kalash Trading
Company LTD, expanding the presence of Uzbek-made consumer goods in
Middle Eastern markets.


This was reflected in the statement by the Chamber of Commerce
and Industry of Uzbekistan, following the visit of a Syrian
business delegation.


"An export contract worth a total of 2 million US dollars was
signed between Premier Electronics and Kalash Trading Company LTD."
the Chamber said in the statement.


During the visit, representatives of Kalash Trading toured
Premier Electronics’ manufacturing facilities and reviewed
production processes for refrigerators, washing machines,
televisions, and air conditioners. The two sides discussed
opportunities to supply Uzbek-made household appliances to the
Syrian market and explored prospects for broader commercial
cooperation.


The signed contract envisages the export of a wide range of
household appliances to Syria, marking a new step in Uzbekistan’s
efforts to diversify export destinations and strengthen trade ties
with Middle Eastern countries.







The deal is expected to enhance the international visibility of
the “Made in Uzbekistan” brand and support the country’s strategy
of increasing value-added exports and expanding the global reach of
domestically manufactured products.


The agreement comes as Uzbekistan and Syria intensify efforts to
expand bilateral trade through the recently established
Uzbekistan–Syria Trade House and distribution center in Aleppo,
which was officially inaugurated on May 21 through a partnership
between the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Uzbekistan and
Kalash Trading Company Ltd. According to the Chamber, goods shipped
from Uzbekistan to Aleppo currently require approximately 8–10 days
in transit, with logistics costs ranging from $2,000 to $3,000 per
container, providing a practical platform for increasing
exports.


Earlier discussions between Chamber Chairman Davron Vakhabov and
Ahmad Kalash, founder of Kalash Trading Company Ltd., focused on
expanding the presence of Uzbek products in the Syrian market,
identifying priority export goods, and leveraging the Aleppo
distribution center to facilitate sales. Both sides also agreed to
encourage more Uzbek manufacturers to utilize the Trade House,
broaden the range of products offered, and increase export volumes
through coordinated commercial initiatives, underscoring growing
economic cooperation between the two countries.
