01 October 2017
A major distribution facility for building materials in Duqm will be ready by the middle of 2019, according to an official at Oman Wanfang.
The building materials distribution centre, which is coming up in an area of 500,000 sq m, is being developed by Ningxia Ningqiao Commercial Investment and Operation at an estimated cost of $46 million, the Times of Oman said.
It is among 10 projects planned by Chinese firms in Duqm, at the China-Oman Industrial Park.
Oman Wanfang chairman Ali Shah said the Duqm facility will support the Chinese firm’s regional growth.
The centre will provide a range of materials for the construction sector, from steel rebar to furniture imported from China and other countries.
Shah also noted that Duqm, which is also rapidly developing, requires a lot of building materials.
