Danube opens first showroom in Qatar

The opening, which marks the company’s first venture into Qatar in association with Dyarco, is the 29^th Danube Building Materials showroom in the Middle East and reflects the company’s strategy of strengthening its market presence in the region.

The showroom was inaugurated by Shaikh Mohammed bin Faisal bin Qassim Al Thani, Vice-Chairman, Al Faisal Holding and Ebrahim A.H. Al Neama, Chairman, Dyarco, in the presence of Danube officials led by Rizwan Sajan, Founder & Chairman, Danube Building Materials; Anis Sajan, Managing Director; Adel Sajan, Director, Danube Building Materials and other senior company officials.

According to Danube senior officials, the recent announcement of Qatar being named as the host for the FIFA World Cup Games in 2022 has created an influx of construction and infrastructure projects amounting to over Dh367 billion over the next 12 years.

Danube is looking to play a major role in this development by leveraging its wide portfolio of building materials and other construction essentials across these projects. The Qatar showroom will offer key products like wood, steel, sanitary hardware, ceiling, plywood and structural steel. “The opening could not have been at a better time as the country is currently witnessing an increase in major construction projects. These projects largely demand a supplier who can provide them with top quality building materials, something that the Danube Building Materials retail units are widely known for, Al Thani said.

“Today’s opening demonstrates our long standing commitment towards opening key showrooms and warehousing facilities across strategic locations in the Middle East. We are excited to have opened our first retail unit in Qatar as the country is expected to experience a large influx of projects in preparation for the FIFA World Cup games in 2022,” said Rizwan Sajan, Founder & Chairman, Danube Building Materials.
