Our Values

Customer satisfaction

In the competitive nature of modern business, ensuring customer satisfaction as the company's main capital is more vital than ever. We do our best to stay beside our clients and take care of all their needs and concerns to establish friendly long-term relationships with them.

Human resources

The skillfulness, efficiency, and agility of our staff directly affect our customer experience and brand image perception. We believe that manpower should get trained and experienced; because organizational improvement will be achievable only through personal development.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Iran's rich resources and capacities have a high potential for non-oil export but traditional and non-scientific approaches have often hindered optimal exploitation. We take part in the standardization of products with an export-oriented approach to help businesses improve and support employment increase in the society.

Corporate Environmental Responsibility

Human destructive impacts have endangered the environment and threatened many species for years. Bees are one of the most precious ones for the planet since many lives including ours are directly or indirectly dependent on their role in the ecosystem. Sadly, their population is decreasing worldwide. Karen insists on cooperation with nature-friendly suppliers and dedicates a percentage of its income to farming bee-friendly plants especially Lavender.

Visions

Being recognized as the preferred supply reference of advantageous made-in-Iran products in the Middle East, Europe, and Africa through creating a brand associated with hard work, perseverance, ethics, commitment, and responsibility

Missions
  1. Creating networks of suppliers and customers and meeting their needs and desires
  2. Creating and optimizing efficient and flexible supply chains via systemization of all international trade procedures based on scientific approaches
Our Team

Doing business with required modern standards is practically impossible if you don’t have a team of devoted experts.

Coherence, agility, dedication to the organizational goals, and customer satisfaction are our main priorities.

We believe that no organization can grow without the true participation of all members.
