Embroidery Chief, which prides itself as the country's largest embroidery company has unveiled a new warehouse and exhibition center in Abuja, the nation's capital with a vow to redefine the nation's fashion industry with its new technology and innovation not commonly found in the country.
Located in Gwarimpa, one of the high brow areas of the city, the Nigerian-owned Embroidery Chief says it is poised to prioritize local job creation, skills transfer, reduced reliance on imports, and improve export capacity within the fashion and textile value chain.
Speaking at the event, The Managing Director /CEO Mr. Lukman Abdulsalam emphasized the broader economic intent of the project.
"This warehouse is not just about embroidery. It is about empowerment, skills development, and building production capacity in Nigeria.
"By bringing world-class embroidery technology home, we are creating jobs, reducing imports, conserving foreign exchange, and enabling Nigerian brands to compete confidently in both local and international markets.” he concluded.
The facility is expected to create hundreds of direct and indirect jobs, including machine operators, digitizers, designers, technicians, quality controllers, logistics staff, and trainees.
Beyond employment, the project is structured as a training and empowerment hub, providing young Nigerians with hands-on access to professional embroidery technology and production standards previously unavailable locally, thereby, contributing to the Nation's GDP and economic development.
Equipped with over 100 embroidery heads, including advanced Futong industrial machines, the facility significantly expands Nigeria’s capacity for large-scale, high-quality embroidery production.
This development is expected to reduce the country’s dependence on imported embroidered garments and outsourced offshore production, a practice that has historically drained foreign exchange and limited local value retention.
Located at House 60, 4th Avenue, Gwarimpa, Abuja, the unveiling of the Embroidery Warehouse and Exhibition Center on February 5, 2026, attracted leaders from the fashion industry, policymakers, youth groups, manufacturers, and the business community.
