BAHRAIN’S Gulf Markets International (GMI) returns on a high note to gulfBID this year after having received a considerable boost to its business following its participation at last year’s show.

The exposure the company gained through gulfBID 2012 helped its lift, escalator and building maintenance unit division to clinch some prestigious projects in Bahrain such as the National Theatre, Four Seasons hotel, Sitra power plant, a Ministry of Finance building, Al Baraka Bank and Durrat Al Bahrain, says a company spokesman.

“Using the corporate slogan ‘Committed to being the best by providing the best’, GMI is very pleased to be part of gulfBID 2013,” he says, adding that 2012 was an exceptionally successful year for its Lifts and Escalator Division (LED) and Building Maintenance Unit (BMU) division.

GMI recently signed a contract with Six Construct for the Four Seasons hotel project to supply a high-end BMU solution, as well as sectional doors.

The company was also chosen to supply the National Theatre project with sectional doors from Teckentrup, one of the leading high-tech door manufacturers in the world. The above-mentioned projects alone were a worth a total of approximately BD1 million ($2.64 million).

The spokesman says that the company has been contributing in the development of the country’s infrastructure for more than three decades.

“We pride ourselves not only in delivering products and services of the highest quality and standards but also ensuring the utmost integrity with everyone that we deal with,” he says.

GMI’s extensive experience in building materials supply makes it a reliable partner in any type of projects. Its other key projects in Bahrain include the Bahrain Financial Harbour, Bahrain City Centre, Marina Tower, The Walk in Riffa, HSBC building, Bassman Tower, Paris 3, Durat Al Bahrain villas, and Al Hayat Shopping Mall, to name a few.

GMI is an established general trading company with operations spread over the Gulf region and beyond. Its main activities involve sourcing, import and export of a wide range of products from reputable international suppliers for its divisions, supporting joint ventures and providing sponsorship facilities to foreign companies interested in having their representative/promotion offices in the Gulf region.
