The model empowers our partners and distributors in the Gulf region and the Middle East to deliver our products on time and at premium quality, consistently – whether it is for residential, commercial, or retail projects,” Qazi says.
“Although we do not distribute the products directly to the construction industry, we have invested time and effort into building strong relationships in order to ensure that our distributors and partners feel like an extension of our own firm with the same core values of reliability and quality.”

It is a fantastic platform for the design community to seek inspiration for their latest projects.
