Our story
Built through resilience.
Built through resilience.
Expanded through reinvention.
NDS has repeatedly adapted its operating model while preserving the partnerships, infrastructure and local knowledge that underpin long-term growth.
International retail arrives.
NDS moves from manufacturing into international fashion retail, introducing brands such as Stefanel, Mango, Cortefiel, Springfield and Women’s Secret to Syria.
When the market closed, we did not leave.
NDS remained operational, relied on its manufacturing base and created Talis: an own-label business designed, produced and retailed in-house.
We moved the brands.
The group entered Iraq at scale, expanded its international portfolio and developed CADO, its proprietary European fast-fashion outlet concept.
Beyond fashion.
NDS expands into food & beverage, digital content and development through Knoops, Pixishoot, Iraq Mall flagships and Galleria Al Hijaz.
What we do
