The ACMEG has been serving the Carpet industry for a long time, with a history dating back 58 years. In 1346, Carpet industry traders established the union to promote coherence in their activities. Eventually, it transformed into the Afghanistan Carpet Manufacturers & Exporters Guild and established representative offices in different zones to defend the Carpet sector. This organization is defined as an independent, non-governmental, non-political, and non-profit institution.

Currently, the ACMEG has three representative offices in Mazar-e-Sharif, Herat, and Nangarhar. It plays a crucial role in institutionalizing the process of reforms and export progress in the country. The ACMEG acts as a bridge between Carpet industry leaders, traders, investors, donors, media, and the government to help them achieve their goals. It collaborates with the government in policy formulation processes and provides necessary consultations to ensure the increase of national revenues, preservation of carpet sector interests, and purchasing power of the people.

In order to develop trade and investment, the ACMEG has undertaken programs to enhance the domestic carpet production. It believes that creating an appropriate environment for cohesion in the country is one of the primary needs of carpet industry players.
