Ariston Thermo, an Italian specialist in heating systems and related products that opened its first manufacturing plant in Bahrain last year, sees the Gulf Construction Expo as a major platform in the kingdom to establish and expand its business and network of contractors.

The three-day event, organised by Hilal Conference and Exhibitions (HCE), concludes today at the Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Centre.

The 7,000-sq-m plant located in the Bahrain International Investment Park (BIIP) has a production capacity of 250,000 electric water heaters. The company manufactures storage electric water heaters branded Ariston, which are mainly marketed in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region.

“We see a good number of construction and real estate developers at the event. We hope to build new contacts at the show and yield new projects too,” said Edoardo Pauletta d’Anna, country manager, UAE, Gulf and Levant, Ariston Therma SpA Middle East Branch.

A leading company in the water heating and heating industry, Ariston Thermo’s product portfolio includes water heating, heating and solar systems, heat pumps and gas boilers. Apart from showcasing its ‘Made in Bahrain’ water heaters at the Gulf Construction Expo, Ariston for the first time is also promoting its new Kairos Thermo – a solar system for sanitary water heating.

“We see a trend towards energy-efficient water heaters and that’s why we are promoting this here,” he added. - TradeArabia News Service
