Big 5 Special

Wide vistas

One of Sunflex’s projects.

A display comprising of folding-sliding doors and a horizontal sliding wall system will be the highlight of Sunflex Middle East’s stand when it makes its debut at the Big 5 show this month.

“We are very excited about our presence this year at the Big 5 because it will give us an opportunity to introduce the GCC to the Sunflex line of products as well as gain exposure in the market,” says Adnan Fatayerji, managing director, Sunflex Middle East. “Anyone who has ever been to the Big 5 show will have witnessed the electric environment at this expo. It creates positive inertia for companies exhibiting and, from my experience, a tangible product display is the best way to bridge gaps between the company and the customer.”
“Sunflex products are ‘specialized’ door systems. The doors are ‘special’ because they are not fixed in place like conventional doors, but in fact have the ability to slide, stack and even fold — unblocking any opening — which allows our customers to maximise space usage in all areas of their homes, offices, hotels and even retail outlets,” he adds.
Sunflex products are fabricated in Sharjah. Currently, stock profiles and accessories are imported from Germany.
“We will display our core systems which include our vast range of aluminium folding doors — ranging from non-thermal to thermal systems. Furthermore, we will be launching our high grade, horizontal sliding wall system (HSW) which is a perfect solution for retail facilities as they do not require a bottom running track,” he says.
The company’s diverse range of products allows it to focus on a wide spectrum customer base. “Our target audience is vast as it ranges from home-owners. looking to add space and value, to major project developers that require solutions for large-scale projects such as malls and towers. We are a supply-based company therefore we do not compete with aluminium companies. In fact, we offer an added solution to their folding door requirements.”
Sunflex has several installations in progress throughout Dubai as well as projects in Abu Dhabi, Jordan, Lebanon, and other locations around the Gulf and Middle East, Fatayerji says, adding that the company has recently secured contracts in the Old Town Dubai and Dubai Marina developments.
Adnan states: “Here at Sunflex we have spent the past 20 years developing and redefining our folding systems, it’s not just a technical process for us anymore, it’s an art.
“Space in general is something we value in our daily lives, and when you achieve more space, in actuality you’ve gained a sense of freedom, our product creates that environment because it’s moveable, flexible, and most importantly let’s you enjoy space unobstructed.”
