 NCE has been in operation since 1983. 
 NCE's new, modern design factory handles in-house the entire carpet manufacturing process -- from design, through raw wool sorting and processing, hand spinning of the yarn, dying the yarn, weaving, trimming and washing the carpet -- to labelling, packing and exporting of the finished product ready for the showroom. This ability to control all the stages of a carpet's creation allows NCE a great deal of flexibility in accommodating each customer's particular requirements.
 NCE focuses on producing export high quality carpets rather than the more common "bazaar" goods found in the Kathmandu market place. Custom orders are a speciality. 
 NCE uses a either pure Tibetan wool, or special blend of Tibetan and New Zealand wools, chosen for their unique lustre and hard wearing qualities. NCE produce their own comprehensive range of colours in the inhouse dyeing plant. We can also produce a limited quantity of vegetable, natural dyes. All the yarn is hand spun by local village people of the Nepal hills. 
 There is no limit to the variety of potential designs that can be produced within the constraints of the unique Tibetan knotting technique exclusively employed by NCE. This type of knot gives a much thicker and more luxurious pile than those from the middle eastern countries. This technique also allows the designer to focus on design and texture, the "look", without getting bogged down in the technicalities of high knot counts. 
 NCE currently has a custom production capacity of over 2,000 square metres per month. Sizes ranging up to a maximum unit size of 4.2 by 7.2 metres; exporting the majority to Germany and the UK, with some custom designs going to the USA. Much of our export to Europe is later re-exported to the USA. 
  • Regular customers include: 
  • In Germany: Porta- Mobel, Meumann Imports, Teppich Kirchhoff and many more 
  • In the UK: OCM-London, Eastern Khayam 
  • In the USA: Bashian Brothers, Kelaty International, Endless Knot Carpets 
  • NCE's carpets may be found at well known retail stores all over Europe and the USA including: Liberty's in London, Porta   Mobel and Katak Group's many stores, Bloomingdale's in New York and Interior Designers across the country. 
  • NCE welcomes “limited edition”, “one of” and custom orders as well as programme designs and we will assist in the choice of colours and design as necessary. Please contact us with details of your requirements so we can prepare a quotation for you. 

    The team at NCE look forward to working with you on your orders!

    RELIABILITY     

    Back to Introduction
    How to get a carpet with the colours, texture and design that you ordered, delivered when you need it.

    There have been several cases recently of enthusiastic importers coming to Kathmandu to place orders and getting burned. Usually they are new to the Nepalese carpet scene and have no prior connection. Many have been seriously disappointed by the service they received, or rather did not receive, from various exporters promising everything and delivering inferior goods, behind schedule and over priced.

    Many new buyers get their initial introduction from unreliable sources. One of the most difficult tasks is to identify a reliable supplier among all the many choices available in Nepal today.

    Probably less than 10% of the dozens of exporters and manufacturers in Nepal are capable of actually delivering on their promises.

    We, at Nepal Carpet Enterprises, have worked hard over the past thirteen years to earn a reputation for reliability. We will never accept an order unless we are 100% sure that we can deliver the best quality, according to the customer's specification and on time.

    We have been helped tremendously by the fact that the partner in charge of all the manufacturing is an American citizen, who has lived in the United States for many years and fully understands the requirements of this sophisticated market.

    So, to avoid disappointment, get in touch with us for a straightforward answer to your Nepalese/Tibetan carpet supply problems.
