Awal Plastics says its customers have stayed loyal to the firm for so many years because it satisfies their signage requirements on brief, on budget and, more importantly, on time.

''These companies, corporations and architects entrust their corporate image and communications with Awal Plastics because they know that whatever they need, wherever they need it, they feel confident that they're working with right business partner to make it happen,'' says a spokesman for the Bahrain-based signage specialist.

He continues: ''To retain leadership in the Gulf region as superior manufacturers of fabricated internal and external signage, graphics and a variety of display products, Awal Plastics constantly upgrades its technology and initiates professional staff training to ensure that their products and services are produced to the highest international standards. Awal Plastics' wealth of experience and know-how has enabled customers to benefit from a service that exceeds all geographical boundaries. This ensures that whatever country clients choose, they have peace of mind that their corporate image and signage will be consistent and harmonious.''

Awal Plastics' proven track record is second to none with an extensive portfolio of bluechip case histories around the region, among the latest being the Citibank Headquarters Building, the spokesman points out.
