Fuelled by the increasing interest in its products shown by the Saudi market, Carl Stahl Middle East and the Carl Stahl Lifting Equipment Industries will showcase their prowess in transforming interiors and exteriors using high quality stainless steel at SaudiBuild 2003.

The Dubai-based Carl Stahl Middle East has been marketing the products and services of its parent Carl Stahl, Germany, while Carl Stahl Lifting Equipment Industries, also based at Dubai, has been focusing on the assembling of lifting equipment and the inspection of works.

Making its debut at the event, Carl Stahl Middle East will put on display a wide range of products including stainless steel cable systems, lifting equipment and several other quality components at Stand 131, says  commercial manager Francois Saab.
The company's interest in the exhibition, was triggered by the spurt in the receipt of enquiries and purchase orders.

Says Saab: 'At the exhibition, the company will not just be involved in the mere display of its products and the introduction of newer ones, but will focus more on creating an awareness of its existing products to prospective clients.'

The stainless steel cable systems and the quality components of the company provide complete, flexible, and transparent solutions with great integrity.
Established in 1880, Carl Stahl has grown over the years to become a leading manufacturer of wire ropes and lifting technology, with approximately 40 locations that service clients across the globe. The company, which has a staff strength of more than 640, registered a turnover of $130.5 million in 2001. It has also received DIN  ISO 9001 certification for quality.

Carl Stahl's growth has been possible in a demanding market, because of its ability to generate newer ideas that further development, and also because of its approach to the market. Much of Carl Stahl's success in business, is also being attributed to its concern for quality, penchant for innovative technology and a high level of commitment to its customers, says Saab.

Carl Stahl Middle East has served several major clients in the Middle East. The impressive list of projects undertaken by the company includes the Burj Al Arab, Dubai Airport, Sharjah World Trade and Expo Centre, Jumeirah Islands, Al Nakheel Resorts, Marina Mall, Dubai Cruise Terminal at Port Rashid, Nad Al Sheba grandstand, Dubai Islamic Bank, Dubai City Centre, Sheraton Hotel, Private Palace at Ghantoot, Conference Palace Hotel and the Umm Al Nar bridge in the UAE, Al Amoudi  Project in Saudi Arabia and the Cairo Airport in Egypt among several others.
Primarily, Carl Stahl has four product lines, I-SYS, X-tend, PosiLock, and CableConcept that have a wide range of applications.

I-SYS is an innovative and creative stainless steel cable system, that has applications ranging from bridge building and balustrading to architecture, lifting, structural and tensile applications, landscaping, decoration, interior design and space frames.

X-Tend is a patented stainless steel cable net for indoor and outdoor applications. The technology of the three-dimensional mesh provides flexibility in assembly, and stability in shape to cover simple areas as well as three-dimensional structures. As it is composed of high quality stainless steel cable, X-Tend stays in shape even under heavy load. X-Tend is also used in the construction of bridges as the flexible net system meets the construction requirements of bridges and also adjusts suitably to the thermal and mechanical movements of these structures.

X-Tend offers high durability and creative solutions in architecture and design used for animal enclosures, balustrades, fairs and exhibitions, high facades, security systems, architectural projects, complicated constructions and interior design. Both the I-Sys and the X-Tend were awarded the Architecture and Building Innovation Prize at the Berlin's Bautec 2002.

PosiLock, a transparent and versatile stainless steel cable suspension system, is used in shop fittings, retail display, wall and ceiling suspensions, as well as many other fields of interior design. The PosiLock suspension system is based on two main elements: cable holder and cable tensioner that can be combined with many accessories to suit every application while at the same time meeting the safety needs, says Saab.

CableConcept is an elastic 'X-Tend' stainless steel cable net that can be used for making a range of all-weather furniture both for indoor and outdoor use.
The furniture designs of CableConcept can be used in travel lounges, parks, homes and cafes.
The furniture, apart from being environmental friendly and aesthetic, is said to be timelessly beautiful.
