The newly-established 'third millennium' interior decor specialist Dari Al Jamillah aims to make a big impression as it makes its debut at SaudiBuild 2001 next month.
The Saudi company, which was set up in June this year, intends to fill a gap it identified in the market and provide a 'one-stop shop' for high-end finishing building materials, according to a company spokesman.
Its portfolio includes choice products made of natural materials from manufacturers who are leaders in their fields, from windows, doors and tiles to furniture and fittings.
While its core business is windows, doors, kitchens, bath ceramics and terracotta tiles for the floor, the company can provide many other interior decor artefacts to give that touch of exclusivity to a home, according to the spokesman.
Dari Al Jamillah is introducing, promoting, marketing and distributing products from the following companies:
Staffed with a compact, competent and efficient team of two architect designers and five sales executives, the company also offers a design service for most of its products.
At SaudiBuild, Dari Al Jamillah will be promoting products that will generally be new and unique to the market, according to architect Vincenzo Scarito, the head of design and procurement.
These include wooden windows and patio doors from Andersen Corporation, which add an impressive look to the interior and exteriors of homes and provide an extremely high level of thermal and sound insulation.
Pavement grids from Pratopratico, which resemble lawns but are made of eco-friendly PVC (polyvinyl chloride), will also be on display, in addition to a few more surprises, he says.
Commenting on SaudiBuild, Scarito says: "The event attracts a broad spectrum of people and a wider audience than most other events of its kind in the Kingdom. It also draws in the right type of visitors such as architects, designers, contractors and end-users."
Scarito describes the Saudi market as "good" and sees ample opportunity for growth.
Next year, the company intends to open branches in the Saudi cities of Jeddah and Al Khobar as well as one overseas, in Dubai, UAE.
The company is also interested in co-operation with architects, interior designers contractors and resellers.
Dari Al Jamillah will be displaying its products at stand 138.
