FOLLOWING its successful participation at last year’s gulfBID, Arepro returns this year hoping to repeat its performance while targeting new clientele.

“We received a pretty good response last year and even won some deals. We are looking for new markets this year,” says Thomas Mathew, the company’s marketing manager.

Mathew says its participation in gulfBID is part of the company’s marketing campaign to promote its latest introductions, technology and innovative solutions.

Arepro supplies building products such as sanitary ware, ironmongery, ceramic and porcelain tiles, roof tiles, marbles, stone and LED lights. It represents brands such as the Turkish Vitra, which offers complete bathroom solutions.

Arepro is a joint venture between Suha Galleria Company and Axis-Arepro for building products. It was established in August 2004 as Arepro SPC and registered as Arepro in May last year. It employs 22 people and has an annual turnover of $3.75 million.

Having opened a new branch showroom in Tubli (Suha Galleria) last October, the company is looking to pursue the next phase in its growth strategy which will see it strengthen its presence in the LED lighting sector, a field it ventured into last year.

Arepro will be exhibiting at Stand 1E41 at gulfBID.
