Raysut Cement, Oman's largest cement producer by market value, has bagged the 'Oman’s most trusted brand 2018' award at a major awards event in Oman, reinforcing its reputation as a prominent contributor to the economy of the country.

The award instituted by Apex Press and Publishing, Oman, was conferred on Raysut Cement at a function held recently under the auspices of Sayyida Tania Al Said and the patronage of Talal Al Rahbi, deputy secretary general of Supreme Council for Planning and the general coordinator for the Tanfeedh programme, Oman.

The awards were launched by Apex in 2016 to recognise brands that succeeded in creating a lasting customer appeal, said Mohana Prabhakar, chief executive officer, Apex Press and Publishing.

Raysut Cement Company said in a statement that the winning of the award as Oman’s most trusted brand was a continuation of the company’s rich record of bagging a string of such accolades over the past years.
