Yammine embarks on major expansion
01 June 2010
YAMMINE Contracting Company (YCC) has embarked on a Middle East expansion, which saw the opening last month of a branch office in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, as a first step.
The UAE-headquartered company is a specialist in diamond cutting of reinforced concrete, concrete coring, rebar fixing (mechanical and chemical anchor fixing), and waterproofing.
Founded in the UAE in 2003, the company later expanded its horizons by setting up offices in Qatar (2004) and Bahrain (2008) and this year in Saudi Arabia.
YCC recently added a waterproofing division in a bid to expand its scope of services which, according to newly-appointed Bahrain branch manager Ahmad Awad, is expected to increase the company’s prospects in the coming months.

“Yammine Contracting, which registered good growth in the first quarter of this year, did well even during the past year, despite the recession. With our new waterproofing division, we see even brighter prospects for our company,” he added.
