SCHNELL Group, a global leader in the production of rebar processing machines, has strengthened its presence in the Gulf region with a new branch in Hamriyah Free Zone in Sharjah, UAE. The Schnell Gulf will be a centre for after-sales technical trouble-shooting, after-sales service and installation of new machines.

SAUDI Metal Coating Company (Sacco), which claims to be the world’s largest rebar coater, reports excellent business over the past three years with sales virtually doubling year on year. “We are currently working on a lot of projects and hence believe this year will be a good one for Sacco,” says Mathews Varghese, a spokesman for Sacco.
