This support comes through the Wage Increment Programme, which covers up to 20% of the salary increases for employees for two years. 

 

Midal Cables is one of the leading Bahraini companies in the aluminium manufacturing industry, with 47 years of standing in producing rods, wires, and electrical cables for transmitting electricity worldwide.

Developing local talent
