The Gulf Industrial Directory, claimed to be the first comprehensive industrial directory of GCC factories on a CD, is now available.

Issued by the Federation of GCC Chambers of Commerce and published by Jibal Advertising and Publicity, the directory has a user-friendly graphic interface, says a spokesman for Jibal.

"With a few clicks of the mouse, the user can search companies by name, classification, city or country," he says.

The print option allows the user to print selected information in a single or group mode or in the mailing label format.

The CD comes in Arabic and English and includes useful information on the GCC states and a listing of advertisers' catalogues, says the spokesman.
