(MENAFN- Gulf Times) The plastic industry in Qatar is currently fulfilling all local demands
of construction companies, senior civil engineer Kamran Azmi told Qatar
Urdu Radio's show Haqeeqat yesterday.
'There is a high demand for building materials including plastic goods
in the market and after the siege the local plastic industry is
flourishing, explained Azmi, the general manager of Al Khayarin
International.
Qatar Development Bank (QDB) has played a major role in growth of local industries, he recalled.
'In the last three months, QDB has organised three exhibitions where
local manufacturers and construction companies met one another. Many
companies were pleasantly surprised to see the high quality of local
products, Azmi said, adding that QDB is helping local manufacturers
export their goods and materials outside Qatar.
While PVC and other plastic and building related goods used to come from
Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain prior to the siege, they are now
being produced locally.
'There are many advantages of booming local industries. The terms of
payments are easy, the delivery of materials takes less time.
Additionally, there are long term benefits such as the fact that you are
always sure about the availability of products and ultimately, local
entrepreneurs benefit from all of this.
Haqeeqat, which aims to engage and interact with the large South Asian
expatriate community in Qatar, is a joint venture of the Gulf Times and
Qatar Media Corporation Urdu Radio. It is broadcast from Sunday to
Thursday on FM107.
