Ashghal seals deal with Qatar Primary Materials

ABU DHABI, July 16, 2015

Qatar's Public Works Authority (Ashghal) said it has signed a framework agreement with Qatar Primary Materials Company to ensure the availability of construction materials for its upcoming infrastructure development projects

As per the deal, QPMC will provide Ashghal with 41 million tonnes of limestone and 51 million tonnes of gabbro aggregates for a period of five years, said Nasser bin Ali Al Mawlawi, the president of Ashghal after signing the deal with Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Al Ansari, chairman of QPMC.

The agreement was inked in the presence of Hamad Ali Al Mannai, the vice chairman of the QPMC board and head of stockpile inventory management and primary materials cost control committee at Qatar's Ministry of Economy and Trade, Eisa Al Hammadi, the chief executive of QPMC, Mohamed Ali Darwish, the director of Technical Support Affairs in Ashghal, and Abdel Samad Al Makei, the manager of the Engineering Business Department in Ashghal.
 
The agreement aims to provide Ashghal with gabbro and limestone in order to achieve its building and construction programmes and projects in Qatar, stated Al Mawlawi.

Al Ansari said: “The purpose of signing this agreement with Ashghal is to provide it with construction materials needed for its upcoming projects for the next five years. Ashghal is considered a strategic partner for QPMC, and this cooperation will surely enhance projects in the pipeline.”

This agreement, he stated, confirms that QPMC has become the trusted arm in Qatar and the region. "It can be relied on to provide primary materials of gabbro and limestone, fine sand and washed sand, and within the required quantities for the implementation of major projects in Qatar," he added.
 
Al Hammadi, said: “Since its establishment in 2006, QPMC is seeking to ensure the supply of primary materials in the Qatari market, to keep up with the thriving construction industry in the country, especially with Qatar being the next host of the 2022 World Cup and beyond.”

This agreement, he stated, would promote the company’s position as the trusted supplier of primary material in Qatar as it owns and operates strategic reserves of primary materials.

"It also offers integrated solutions in several areas including port management, logistics and supply, storage and distribution to meet the country’s needs in the fields of infrastructure and construction," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
