Gulf Extrusions to participate in Batimat

Trade Arabia News Service reported that Gulf Extrusion is set to showcase its vast experience in aluminum extrusion at the Envelope Gulf Exhibition. The event will be held from April 20th 2008 to April 23rd 2008 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, as part of the Batimat building show.

Gulf Extrusions, through its display of high quality aluminum extruded products, will look to leverage the event’s platform to reinforce its impressive market position in the Middle East.

Mr Modar Al Mekdad GM of Gulf Extrusions said that "The continued construction boom in the region has meant that several high profile industry-specific exhibitions are being organized across the Gulf countries, making it imperative for Gulf Extrusions, as one of the biggest players in its domain, to participate in such shows in a big way. We are currently focusing on significantly expanding our operations, in line with the growing demand for our products in the region, and our participation in events of this scale will help us reaffirm relations with our local and regional customers."

Gulf Extrusions recently announced that it had begun construction of a new plant in Qatar, which is part of an intensified expansion strategy. The demand for aluminum extrusion in the Middle East region as a whole is expected to reach an average of 450,000 tonnes per annum in 2008, with KSA, Qatar, UAE and Kuwait accounting for most of the demand.

The Envelope Gulf Exhibition, organized by Reed Exhibitions Middle East, will focus on the latest cladding and glazing products, joinery systems, solar protection systems, architectural facades, access control systems and doors and shutters. Four building related exhibitions namely Structure Gulf, HVAC Gulf, Envelope Gulf and Intelligent Building Gulf make up the Building Future Gulf by BATIMAT show, the first regional edition of the Batimat international exhibition.

Gulf Extrusions, which is part of the Al Ghurair Group of Companies, produces profiles ranging from architectural sections to components for household items, AC grills and customized products.

Nearly 70% of Gulf Extrusions' production is supplied to the domestic market to support the enormous construction projects in the UAE.
