Sparked by continued growth, Arta diversified into tufting carpet in 1990, establishing a factory known today as Arta Tuft in a new plant near the city called Takestan, Qazvin, Iran. Arta Industrial group invested in Yarn extrusion in 1991 to produce the raw material for tufting carpet and the need in huge market of rug industry in Iran with the company name Arta Tech. In 1992, Arta Tech's extrusion capacity was greatly increased with the addition of modern machines. This modern facility gives Arta the ability to produce different types of Yarns. In 1995, Arta continued its vertical integration with the addition of yet another new facility in Takestan plant for the carpet and fiber in different types and sizes with high capacity.
