Stefano Iannacone, regional director for the Middle East and East Africa states, Mapei Construction Chemicals, said: “Saudi Arabia is one of the Gulf’s biggest construction markets which we are considering for our business.”

“Since 2016, our company has been focused on increasing its presence within the Saudi market due to both its size and enormous potential. At the moment, the construction market is growing and that has been a huge encouraging factor for us to move forward with projects within that region,” he said.
