DAMMAM, 19 January 2003 — A local steel company has won a contract to supply and erect one of the largest single factory buildings in Europe.
The building, located in Goole in the United Kingdom, is owned by Guardian Glass Industries, a subsidiary of Guardian Industries Corporation.
Zamil Steel, based in Dammam, will design fabricate and erect the 65,000 square meter building.
Maher Hajaji, general manager of Zamil Steel and in charge of the project said he expected the building to be erected by the end of April this year.
He said that although some of the fabrications supporting the cranes and equipment are enormous, they would be made and transported as complete units from Dammam.
This is the second building that Guardian Glass Industries has awarded to Zamil Steel. The first one is located in Jubail and was erected more than five years ago.
Hajaji said Zamil Steel serves its customers around the world through a network of 40 area offices. The company already operates offices in several European countries. This year it has plans to strengthen its presence in Europe and increase its market share in 10 European countries.
