Peikko has made an agreement with its major subcontractor in the Gulf area, according to which a number of production machinery and close to 40 persons, including some key people, will move over to Peikko Gulf’s operations. This arrangement is part of Peikko’s expansion program of the Gulf operations.
Peikko Gulf has recently delivered several substantial orders such as; two kilometers of floor joints (TERA Joint) to Al Jedar company to their project in Khalifa Port, UAE, all concrete connections to beams and columns to Prainsa company to a large cement factory expansion in Saudi Arabia, and all concrete connections to beams and columns to Abu Dhabi Precast to a large shopping center in Abu Dhabi. Moreover, the very first locally manufactured Deltabeam delivery to Damman, Saudi Arabia, was made during late 2011.
“Peikko sees a lot of potential in the Middle East markets. We are continuing our investments to further develop and expand our localized operations to increase reliability and shorten delivery times. We are especially happy that local precasters have adopted the technological advantages of the bolted column and beam connections.” comments Topi Paananen, CEO of Peikko Group Corporation.
