International Rubber Company (IRC), a subsidiary of M'Sharie, the private equity arm of Dubai Investments, has been awarded a contract to supply curtain wall gaskets for Singapore’s tallest condominium, a new six-star waterfront project under construction at the Marina Bay.
The contract represents the latest international order for the company, which currently supplies products to major developments in UAE, Singapore, Qatar, England and Saudi Arabia.
The deal will see IRC supply rubber gaskets for the exterior walls of the development, designed to form a seal against air, water and wind infiltration. The Sail at Marina Bay, contracted by Dragages Singapore, will be among the top 10 tallest residential buildings in the world when it is completed in 2009, at a total cost of almost $300 million.
“This high value contract to supply gaskets for what is predicted to become one of the region’s most prominent visual icons represents the growing reputation of IRC as one of the world’s leading rubber companies. Our commitment to excellence and strict adherence to international standards make our products a natural choice for contractors who want to provide their clients with the highest quality developments,” says Hashim Al Hashim, managing director, IRC.
IRC is a UAE-based company that produces and markets synthetic polymer rubber and plastic products specifically catering to the property development industry. The company produces high quality weather strip and associated products including structural, container and automotive seals, moulded rubber items, plastic items and PVC water stops.
In addition to international projects, IRC has supplied products to many of the UAE's premier property developments, including the Burj Dubai, Jumeirah Beach Resort and Dubai Festival City.
