The Big 5

Veteran trader

Al Sahoo Trading Establishment, one of the Gulf's veteran trading firms that has been in operation for over four decades, will be participating at this year's Big 5.

Al Sahoo Trading was originally set up in Kuwait back in 1959 and in 1992 the company moved its head office to Dubai, UAE.

The company, which trades in building materials for bathrooms and plumbing applications, such as ceramics, pipes, wall and floor tiles, has five branches in Kuwait and four in Saudi Arabia (Riyadh, Dammam, Jeddah and Al Khobar).

"We are a medium-sized company with a total staff of 200, including all our branches," says UAE general manager Adel Hourani. "At the Big 5, we will be promoting top-quality ceramics and sanitary ware from international manufacturers, among other products."

Al Sahoo is the exclusive agent for Aquatherm polypropylene pipes and fittings, Hocheng Corporation (HCG) bathroom fixtures, Umi-Laufen sanitary ware, Hesa CP mixers, Vidrepur glass mosaic tiles, Schulte Armaturen mixers and Kristal glasslined water heaters.

Al Sahoo Trading will be at stands 2C74 and 5C245.
