Samsonite Nepal is planning to set up a manufacturing facility in Nepal to serve the Indian market, and take advantage of the free-trade regime the South Asian Preferential Trading Agreement (SAPTA) promises. The company made the announcement while launching two new products last week, the Crusair, an upright that can be pushed and pulled in three ways and the Flite, which the company claims is the lightest hard-sided luggage. The company also plans to open a retail franchise showroom on New Road.
