Founded in 1968, Kabul Felez has been a leading manufacturer of industrial steel construction and high-quality furniture. Headquartered in Kabul, Afghanistan, the company managed a modern production facility, equipped with state-of-the-art  production equipment. Kabul Felez employed over 110 personnel, including a variety of engineers, designers, market researchers, sales personnel, and production staff.

Well-known in the furniture industry for its longevity and success in Afghanistan, Kabul Felez has established itself as a reputable leader among major corporations and businesses alike.

Executive Management

Kabul Felez has the necessary management experience and expertise to develop and implement a successful strategy to re-establish operations in Afghanistan. This strategy will include the construction of three (3) modern, state-of-the-art facilities in Kabul. While this plan involves the re-start of operations in Afghanistan, the Kabul Felez project is unique in that this is not a new venture in a new market with untested and inexperienced management. Kabul Felez has a demonstrated track record of success in Afghanistan. Since its formation in 1968, Mr. Abraham Lutfi has served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Kabul Felez. With extensive international experience in the fields of management, engineering, and sales, Mr. Lutfi continues to be a prominent, recognized, and well-established businessman in Afghanistan.

Kabul Felez benefits from the experience that its managers possess in organizing and building successful companies in emerging markets  applying sound fiscal practices to increase profit, providing leadership and direction in developing new business and accomplishing corporate objectives, and providing the highest quality in the manufacturing of the company's products. All of which are important in building value in a business.

As Kabul Felez moves to resume furniture and steel truss framing systems manufacturing, the Executive Management will be responsible for operating the company; increasing revenue; driving the new business initiatives; and stabilizing the current business base.
