Company keen on strengthening African market presence
Gulf Extrusions, one of the largest aluminum extrusion plants in the Gulf, has announced that it will hold a first-of-its-kind seminar in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on May 23, 2009 primarily aimed at introducing modern aluminium fabrication techniques to some 70 architects, consultants and fabricators from several East African countries. The one-day seminar, which will feature comprehensive presentations by experts from Gulf Extrusions, seeks to cover the gaps in knowledge with regard to latest fabrication systems and technologies.
The seminar will tackle important aluminum industry-related topics such as anodizing, powder coating, fabrication and modern accessories. Besides the introduction of new techniques and innovations, seminar participants will also learn more about the services and products offered by Gulf Extrusions.
Modar Al Mekdad, General Manager, Gulf Extrusions, said, "We recognise the immense potential that Africa's construction sector holds, which is why we were keen to host a highly-focused seminar that provided an opportunity for fabricators and architects to stay abreast of the most advanced fabrication technologies, which in turn will further complement the construction industry. Moreover, the seminar is also in line with our plans to strategically strengthen our presence in the African continent, where we already have been involved with several projects."
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 customised products. The company also extrudes products of several European suppliers and companies under agreement.
