A heavy manufacturing plant hauled open the shutters in DIC Thursday morning.
Designed to make pipes, supply lines and other parts of industrial infrastructure, the new facility is the latest venture from the Kanoo Group, a firm originally based in Bahrain, but now with interests in all of the GCC countries.
The operation will be known as Kanoo Engineering LLC, and will be run as an all-new company within the group.
The opening was attended by Abdullah Belhoul, MD of DIC and Mishal Kanoo, deputy chairman of the Kanoo Group as well as various other top brass from the company.
Speaking at the inauguration, Mishal Kanoo said: “With this specialist branch, we will be able to share our unique experience and understanding of steel works related to the construction industry for the benefit of businesses in the country and continues expansion of our customer base.”
