What products will you be showcasing at the event?

We will be showcasing hot dip galvanized steel coils and customized slit coils & plain sheets, which find their application in the construction, fabrication and non-automotive industry.

What added value do these products bring to the Building Envelope and Special Construction sector?

Hot dip galvanization by the continuous process provides a cost effective protective solution for steel used in many construction applications. They also form the substrate for pre-painted steel coils used in many industrial & infrastructure building projects.

Can you share your outlook on the MENA construction industry? Why is it important for you to do business in this region?

AGIS is an established brand of galvanized steel coils in the MENA region. We have an established customer base that looks up to AGIS as a reliable & cost effective domestic mill for their GI requirements and as a quality substitute for imports.

What is unique about the Gulf construction industry compared to other regions where you operate?

The vibrant construction & fabrication industry in the Gulf region has a strong demand for customized GI products. ​ Being a local manufacturer with a significant production capacity, we add a lot of value & reliability to local projects.
