As the only ISO 9001-2000 certified company for precast and related products in Saudi Arabia, Qanbar Dywidag Precast Concrete Company (QDC) is currently positioning itself to capture a larger share of projects across the region.

The company, which already has a strong foothold in the Eastern Province, has plans to spread out to other areas in Saudi Arabia as well as securing an impressive project portfolio in Bahrain and Qatar.
“We have seen a considerable growth in business this year compared to last year,” says Ahmad Sameh, marketing manager of the company.
“As a renowned name in the precast business sector, we have been manufacturing high-quality products for the last 26 years since we launched operations. We provide a comprehensive range of products and can meet the demand for all the precast requirements of a wide range of commercial and residential building construction.
“We give utmost attention to the quality of our products, which is a major factor in our success in the precast business and gives us a competitive edge in the market. The demand of our precast products has been increasing day by day indicating the recognition in the marketplace for QDC’s quality,” he adds.

These include panels, columns, beams, double tees, hollowcore slabs, boundary walls, pipe racks, barriers and bollards and paving tiles, among others. It offers various finishes such as an exposed aggregate, form-liner and fare face finishes for its precast concrete external walls and claddings.
