From1979 , the sons who were educated in the United States, continued and expanded their family business.
" Eng. Ali Sobhe, Daryush Sobhe, Dr. Khosrow Sobhe "
They opened up a branch (office & warehouse) in 1985 in the Free Port of Hamburg. Since so many of the customers were willing to import their carpets directly from Iran, Sobhe Trading transferred all its activities to Tehran, in 1992.
Now, Sobhe Trading with decades of experience in an area of 4000 m2 with several warehouses and fully computerized system is directly exporting all kinds (including new sizes) of Persian carpets to different countries around the world." http://www.sobhe.com/

AN E-MAIL FROM TEHRAN:

Oct. 10, 2001
Subject: Sept. 11 Tragedy

While  mankind is claiming so much when it comes to technology and science, we still see injustice and killings of innocent people like the early times way back in history. 

As an Iranian doing carpet trade,
I condemn such actions. 

I hope we will all soon enter an
era in which there is no terror, no killing and
everybody has respect and love for others, regardless of sex, race, nationality, beliefs,etc.

LET IT BE SO AND PRAY FOR IT.

Dr. Khosrow Sobhe
