In November 2022 the chairman of NABOLY, Fadl Al-Natsheh, gave an interview to Wattan News Agency in Ramallah about where the company’s footwear goes and what it is made of. This is a summary of what he said; the original report is Wattan’s.
Where the pairs go
NABOLY is, in his words, a company that manufactures by Palestinian hands, at high quality and moderate cost. The split he gave was:
- 40% exported abroad
- 40% to the local market in the West Bank
- 20% to Gaza
The export markets he named were Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Iraq, alongside sales inside the Green Line. He added that NABOLY had, at that point, been exporting to France for four years.
Where the leather comes from
The raw materials, he said, are 100% Palestinian: hides collected from Palestinian cities and villages and tanned in Palestinian tanneries. That is still how the factory works — the manufacturing page sets out the full chain, from hide to boxed pair.
If you are buying for a shop, the wholesale page is where to start, and the catalog shows every model in one place.
