Construction Week reported that VSL Middle East is looking to expand in the Middle East region as it predicts a bright 2010 for the company.

As per report, VSL has a wide range of products but works mainly in the field of post tensioning systems for bridges and for buildings. The company works with different grades of steel with different diameters.

Ms Mariana Santome engineer operations and technical support at VSL revealed that “I think as all companies have, we have faced problems with the crisis and sales have been lower. However, the region is now behaving in a positive way and there are a lot of projects in Qatar and Saudi.”

She said that “We are looking to expand our business into Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain, the whole region.”

Ms Santome also revealed that the company has recently been awarded a project in Abu Dhabi and is looking to secure contracts in Doha in the near future. We think 2010 will be a good year, the beginning of the year might be a little slow but this will give people time to plan for the rest of the year. We expect things to pick up.
