Fibo Intercon, a Danish supplier to the global concrete industry with more than 70 years experience, said the Middle East region presents many opportunities for manufacturers from Europe looking to expand their operations following the downturn.

Chief executive officer of Genesis Manazil, Maged Mostafa, says the company?s light-steel, off-site construction system is more in demand than ever before, as the Middle East moves towards more modern methods of construction and ?greener? buildings. Manazil Steel Framing, the Genesis licensee, and business regional headquarters was established in 2007.

Laidlaw solutions limited are the leading specifier, distributor and technical service providers for architectural ironmongery, doorsets, handrail-and-balustrading and access-control solutions to the UK construction industry and throughout the Middle East and Far East.

With the repercussions of the global downturn still affecting much of the construction sector, Italian company Meccanica Breganzese (MB) believes its jaw-action Crusher Bucket will be as well received by financial controllers as it is by environmentalists.
