Installux, one of the emerging leaders in the field of high-quality aluminium systems in the Gulf, has joined hands with Riyadh-based Al Muhaidib Metal Industries, to offer its wide range of aluminium products to the Saudi market.

In late 2001, the Bahrain-based Installux Gulf - the regional office of the French Installux Group - signed an agreement with the Aluminium Division of Al-Muhaidib Metal Industries, appointing it the exclusive agent for Installux systems in Saudi Arabia.

Al Muhaidib Metal Industries is a part of the Abdul Kader Al-Muhaidib and Sons, a large industrial and trading group of companies.

The firm's aluminium division was established in 1993. Despite being a relatively recent entrant in the field, the division has now grown to become one of the leading aluminium fabricators in Saudi Arabia.

Al-Muhaidib Metal Industries' Aluminium Division has recently moved to a new factory, with over 13,000 sq m of covered area, in the Second Industrial Area in Riyadh.

"The fact that Al-Muhaidib Metal Industries' Aluminium Division has joined the Installux network is both an honour and testimony to the success of our systems in attracting the best names in the field of aluminium fabrication," says Basim Al-Saie, the general manager of Installux Gulf.

Installux systems have been used for many prestigious projects around the Gulf since their launch in the Gulf around five years ago, and the company has grown in market share and customer base.

"Our focus has always been on bringing top level service, support, and the latest systems to the building industry in the Middle East, while working very closely with our partners and people within our industry," says Al-Saie. "This approach has helped us to grow and bring new products to the market, opening new opportunities for our customers," he says.
