Installux Gulf, a Bahraini-French aluminium solutions provider, recently marked 20 years of successful operations with major contributions to the skylines of many cities in the Gulf and Middle East.

Striving to constantly meet and exceed its partner’s expectations with products that offer the latest energy-efficient and performance rating is the hallmark for Installux Aluminium.  Since establishing its office in 1997 in Bahrain serving the markets of the Middle East, the joint venture company has done many landmark projects and introduced competition that help fuel innovation in the region.

Energy-efficient, high-performance products, integrity, focused service and practical solutions have transformed a Bahraini-French company into a sustainable and viable regional business entity.

The company has created its own niche market by offering a wide range of products for both commercial and residential projects across the region, thanks to the founder’s mission to become a leading architectural aluminium system supplier in the region.

“We constantly introduce new innovative and practical solutions to drive the market towards better value,” Basim Al Saie, managing director of Installux Gulf, said.

Started as a one-man operation, Installux Gulf has emerged as one of the success stories in a short span of time due to its commitment to the professionalism, dedication and culture of self-accountability.

“For our team, just doing the job is not enough. We need to go above and beyond expectations of our clientele,” Al Saie added, who has been at the helm of the company’s affairs since the very beginning.

In a highly competitive business climate, Al Saie added, only efficient companies will withstand stiff competition and global challenges. “We need to be competitive and efficient on a global scale, and not only at the local level.”

The company’s integrity and transparency in doing business has had few but important benchmarks for Al Saie.

“We don’t compromise on our values, they are inherent in everything we do.  We don’t believe in short term gains rather doing the right thing for the first time and every time.  We do what we do, not because it is good business sense, but because we believe in it,” he said.

“Every region has its own unique needs and requirements; no standard solution will fit all.  From the early days, we offered customised solutions to meet our market demands and local needs. Installux is constantly updating its range of products – we now have introduced a 4-m-high sliding door with a slim profile and high energy efficiency.

“Looking back over the last 20 years, we faced adversity in many ways, but we are proud that in spite of all these challenges we stuck to our values and today our clients and market recognise this in how we do our business.  We are forever grateful to our team and those that believed in us when we first started and gave as an opportunity,” he added.

“I am happy to see that we have overcome adversity and learnt a great deal. For us, a major turning point came when we won an Emaar project in 2002, The Greens in Dubai. We won it after being pushed out of another project in a painful way, but we responded to that by winning a bigger one – 14 buildings became 41 buildings. There are always difficulties but setbacks are a great opportunity for learning. I always want to push and to strive to do better,” Al Saie said.

Installux Gulf, today employs around 17 and is involved in projects across the Gulf. The company has carried out many landmark projects in the major cities across the Gulf.

The list of major projects includes Emaar Dubai, Burj Residences, The Greens, Dubai Police headquarters in Dubai, Ansam Development in In Abu Dhabi, most of recent Bin Faqeeh projects in Bahrain, and many more in Kuwait, Saudi, and Qatar. – TradeArabia News Service
