Mammut Building Systems - FZE, a leading manufacturer of pre-engineered steel buildings (PEB’s) in the UAE, continues to press ahead with its ambitious expansion plans and is looking at opening up of new offices in the region and setting up new production facilities.

Mammut is in the process of adding two additional sales offices in Saudi (in Riyadh and Jeddah) and plans to open another in Kuwait before the year-end.
Mammut already has a sales office in Dammam and has secured several major projects in Saudi Arabia from that presence.
These new areas will be served by Mammut’s second PEB plant – set up at Dubai – plans for which are being finalised.
Says Muayyad Khudairi, vice president for Mammut’s PEB division: “In recent months, Mammut’s sales have exceeded its production capacity and the need for a second PEB factory became imminent.
“Our new plant – to be built on a 120,000 sq m plot - will have a production capacity of 4,000 tonnes of built-up sections, a primary component of PEBs, and will be fully dedicated to GCC customers. Our existing plant in Sharjah’s Hamriyah Free Zone will be fully allocated to exports outside the GCC, including Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.
“Over 50 per cent of the production capacity of the new plant will be targeted at the Saudi and Kuwait market where Mammut is relatively a newcomer and its market share is still marginal in comparison to the size of the PEB market there.”
Engineering for the second PEB plant will be provided from India where Mammut is currently selecting a location for a large engineering presence in India. Mammut’s current Engineering capacity is sufficient to handle the second plant’s requirements during 2005.
“The purchase of machinery (which includes four automated submerged arc welding machines, known in the industry as Conrac’s) will be finalised this month. Construction will begin in January 2005 and production of built-up sections will begin in April 2005. The plant will also produce secondary galvanised members (purlins, girts, eave struts, etc.) and single skin cladding. A sandwich panel line will be added in December 2005.”
Mammut claims to have captured 65 per cent of the UAE market for PEBs and its meteoric rise is attributed to several factors.
“The first is our ability to recruit and retain top performers in the PEB industry in this region. The second is our error free detailing software that has made Mammut the only PEB company in the region that can manufacture components devoid of the fabrication errors that could result from engineering errors. The third is attributed to its huge and highly automated existing factory. The fourth is Mammut’s huge production capacity of polyurethane injected sandwich panels, a capacity that exceeds the combined sandwich panel production capacity of all the other PEB manufacturers in this region,” lists out Khudairi.
Mammut has acquired a sizeable market share in UAE, Oman, Qatar, Yemen and Sudan. The new plant will enable it to gain substantial market share in Saudi, Kuwait, Bahrain, Iraq and Iran.
Established in 1997, in response to the increasing global demand for quality pre-engineered and structural steel buildings, Mammut boasts of the highest levels of sophistication, both in terms of machinery and engineering software.
“Our highly professional team always work to provide the fastest possible service in terms of quotations, competitive prices, quality materials and workmanship and site service, to mention a few,” says a company spokesman.
Mammut welcomes requests for quotation from contractors, developers, consultants and owners and invites them to send their quotation requests to sales@mammut.ae.
