Jabtex International has been appointed to be the exclusive distributors of Panaz Ltd., a specialist converter and weaver of fabrics for the hotel and contract markets in the Middle East. The two companies have been working together since November 2008 and have now made a formal partnership. The Jabtex portfolio consists of 7,500 patterns designs used for upholstery, screen and wall partitioning, curtains, privacy screens and bed covers.

Panaz fabrics are made from TreviraCS and are inherently flame retardant and very durable. Jabtex strives to provide solutions in the fabric sector by bonding strategic partnerships with leading global producers like Panaz.

Jabtex opened in a 4,500-meter showroom in Dubai in January 2008, after a long and extensive involvement within the textile industry as the JAB distributor.

Jabtex began trading in the Netherlands during 1987 under a different name and later moved to Sharjah as Anna Export in 1997 and until the end of 2007 as JAB. Jabtex is owned and run by Nader Oubari and his wife Nadera.

The Jabtex fabric collections for curtain and upholstery are sourced from well-known brands in the UK, USA, Canada, France, Holland, Italy, Germany, South Africa and Thailand. These fabrics are geared for either residential, hospitality or healthcare applications.
