Specialised Technical Contractors (STC) is one of Oman's leading and well-established trading and contracting companies. Part of the Bahwan Business Centre, the company has made a mark for itself in a very short time since its inception two years ago, and is today a leading name in the industry.

The company is a big player in the field of painting. Various prestigious painting jobs have been carried out for the Ministry of Defence and Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), amongst other important clientele. A team of painting specialists with up-to-date equipment is available to provide a complete solution to the industrial/decorative requirements of the client.

The company has successfully launched Swedish Alltek spray plaster, which is a substitute for conventional plaster, and is said to be a convenient solution with faster operation to accommodate fast-track projects. Elaborating on the system, Ziad Fattouh, general sales manager of STC says: ''This spray plaster enables work to be done in one-fifth of the time involved in conventional plastering as there is a short curing process. In addition, the system gives a very fine finish. The system has been approved by the Sultan Qaboos University, PDO and major hotels - which is testimonial to its quality and effectiveness.''

The company has maintained its dominance in the field of kitchen equipment - both industrial and domestic. It has won around 50 per cent of the projects in this sector - the most recent being the industrial kitchens for the Oman Aviation catering facility, says Fattouh.

For false ceilings, partitions and access flooring, STC provides its customers a vast range of products. Armstrong, a world leader in ceilings, is represented in Oman by STC.

STC is geared up to provide its customers with all their requirements pertaining to the construction industry. The company has a qualified team of engineers, supervisors, foremen and labourers that can undertake specialised jobs in any part of Oman.

In the renovation sector, STC was involved in refurbishing the Toyota showroom, the Seeb Novotel, and Omantel's offices, among several other projects.
