Baku:WestPoint Home has launched a new filled-goods production line in Bahrain, marking its latest expansion effort in the region. This new line, which began operations on October 13, 2026, is supported by a USD 1 million investment, increasing the company's total investment in Bahrain to USD 8 million since September 2025.
According to Bahrain News Agency, the announcement was made at the Gateway Gulf 2026 investment forum, hosted by the Bahrain Economic Development Board at the Four Seasons Hotel from November 1 to 2, 2026. The expansion adds comforters, quilts, pillows, and duvets to WestPoint Home’s production in Bahrain, broadening its Made in Bahrain portfolio, which previously included sheets and towels.
This development is the third investment by WestPoint Home in slightly over a year, creating jobs for Bahraini nationals in various sectors such as engineering, manufacturing, sales, and human resources. WestPoint Home plans to further invest more than USD 3 million in solar energy at its Bahrain facility in 2027, reflecting its commitment to sustainable operations.
WestPoint Home has a long history in the textile industry, with roots tracing back over two centuries. In 2006, the company acquired Manama Textile Mills and transformed it into the Arabian Gulf's only vertically integrated textile manufacturing operation, supported by USD 170 million in invested capital. The company's CEO, Jonathan Storie, emphasized Bahrain's supportive infrastructure and regional access as key factors in their growth.
Ishaq Abdulla Ishaq, Executive Director of Business Development for Manufacturing, Transport and Logistics, highlighted the significance of WestPoint Home's ongoing investments in Bahrain, noting how they bolster the nation's manufacturing capabilities and economic activities. The company also showcased its Made in Bahrain products at the inaugural Made in GCC Exhibition, further enhancing its regional and international market presence.
