The Public Establishment for Industrial Estates (PEIE) has launched a new website dedicated to the national campaign of promoting Omani products.

The Origin Oman website comes to complement the role played by the campaign in supporting locally manufactured products, factory owners, businesses, as well as consumers who represent various segments of the society, said Hamood bin Abdullah Al Balushi, the director of Omani Products Department at PEIE.

"The website offers visitors a range of electronic services through the link www.originoman.om, which comprises an introduction to the campaign, latest news and calendar of upcoming events," explained Al Balushi.

"In addition, it provides visitors the opportunity to obtain a membership, get the permit to use the logo of Origin Oman campaign, and promote products through the website. The website has been designed to encourage consumers and organisations to purchase locally manufactured goods and services, promote national pride and loyalty, and emphasise the economic importance of buying local made products and services," he added.

According to him, several new services will be added to the website in the coming period.

"The website will offer an opportunity for the companies to advertise and introduce their products to the various segments of the society. It will also activate the signed agreement between PEIE and Ministry of Education through a competition dedicated to school students, which will be announced during the coming period," stated Al Balushi.-TradeArabia News Service
