Founded in 1975, the French company has left its mark on the history of the elevator industry, with its products are manufactured and designed in a manner that can be adapted to all architectural styles due to the quality of the materials used and their carefully designed finishing.

Sodimas seeks to make the best use of The Big 5 show to network with global construction industry leaders and promote its first-class products and distinctively designed lifts, elevator components and escalators using cutting-edge technology in compliance with the highest European standards and specifications.

Through its participation, the French elevator company aims to connect with industry experts and professionals to identify their needs in the upcoming period, so as to meet the growing demand for lifts and elevator equipment in the Gulf market in view of the overwhelming number of urban development projects currently under construction in the GCC countries.

Highlighting the importance of its participation in The Big 5 show, Karim Fnides, Export Sales Area Manager at Sodimas, said: “The Big 5 is the region’s biggest and most comprehensive trade show for the building and construction industry. The show is expected to attract thousands of industry experts and visitors which will help boost the construction sector’s recovery in the post-COVID-19 era.”

The Big 5 will be held at a time the Arabian Gulf region is executing several giant projects, especially Saudi Arabia and the UAE. “We aim to leverage the expected growth in the GCC’s construction sector, simply because a recovery in the construction industry would be a catalyst for the region’s elevator and escalator market. This will increase demand for our products, including elevator equipment, components and escalators,” Karim said. ​

“We are now profoundly focussing on the GCC region, which witnesses a boom in infrastructure development. We are combining our products and services to make elevator journeys more user-friendly, more enjoyable and more sustainable, meeting the changing needs of infrastructure, buildings and services for years to come,” Karim added.

He noted that Sodimas also seeks through its presence in the region’s largest construction event to build sustainable partnerships with major companies in the GCC, citing the partnership forged with Saudi Atlas Elevators to meet the growing demand for elevators and elevator equipment in the Saudi market, given the overwhelming number of urban development projects currently under construction in Saudi Arabia.
