knowledge. Qom, being one of the key centers of this industry has several textile factories,
such as "Iran Merinoos". This factory has been established in 1968 out of the city on that time.

renovation law however means that large factories are no longer allowed in the heart of the
city, resulting in this particular factory being relocated. Consequently, the site of the former
factory has been earmarked by Qom municipality for extensive redevelopment targeting ever
