Mohammad Taghi Barkhordar, industrialist and entrepreneur


He got married at the age of 33. His wife was already married and had a child from her previous marriage. This was not consistent with the standards of the society of that day, but he did not pay attention to these issues. At first, he was only engaged in exporting pistachios. At the same time, he started importing consumer goods for families. Because one of his imported items was batteries, he signed his first production contract with Ray O. Walk, America, and then immediately established Pars Power Company. After that, he acquired Rafael’s home appliance agency. In the next step, he went to Japan and got the Toshiba fan agency. He is one of those who played an important role in financing the Homeland Management Studies Center because they felt the need of Iran’s growing industries and factories for educated people who have completed management courses. The Persian Management Studies Center was founded by Habib Lajordi with the financial assistance of large factories and industries.
