GENERAL COMMENTS

 

Established in 1917, subject is owned and managed by Mr Ibrahim Yousuf Abdul Rahman Al Rahmani and his wife Mrs Noora Heryani.

 

Subject is involved in the import and distribution of building materials, hardware, power tools, timber, laminate flooring and sanitary ware products under a number of well known brand names.

 

The company enjoys an excellent reputation for the quality of its products and has a 20% market share in the building materials sector. Furthermore in late 2002 the company opened another showroom based in Abu Dhabi as part of its expansion programme, under which it aims to open branches in more of the Emirates.

 

According to local sources, subject’s financial condition is satisfactory whilst payments are made in a timely manner. The company’s operating history is reportedly clear and the subject is considered to be a sound trade risk.
