Regnum Ltd, part of the diversified and multinational Ozturk Group, has set up a Gulf subsidiary in the UAE to supply the region with materials that are in high demand in the ongoing construction boom.

Regnum is the group's property arm. It has forged strong partnerships with a number of construction materials and interior product suppliers.
In the Gulf, Regnum LLC will offer an impressive  product range that currently includes PVC-u windows, doors and motorised roller shutters, solid surface work-tops, floor and wall tiles, designer towel rails and radiators, internal and external door sets, classic and designer kitchens, kitchen appliances, bathroom furniture, sanitary-ware and ‘Twinson’ a PVC-u/wood powder composite decking and cladding offering.
Edward Earl, vice president, sales and marketing, Regnum, remarked: “As these materials are tried and tested in the course of construction of our own developments our clients can be assured of the quality, cost, delivery, installation and service from Regnum Limited and Regnum Gulf LLC, wherever their project is based. We are a global company with a local presence, hence the fact that we have invested in our future in the Middle East via our Regnum Gulf operation.
“Headquartered in London, UK and with a supply chain that has its roots in Turkey, itself having an emerging and indeed thrusting market position, Regnum are continually updating and perfecting their products and their service.”
As one of the largest companies in Turkey, Earl said Regnum was well placed to provide local warranty and guarantee positions for its products.  “Clients can rest easily in the knowledge that we are ‘here and on-site’ to conduct our on-going business and not at the wrong end of a container route across the other side of the world.”
The Regnum offering of PVC-u and kitchens are already utilised in the region and in mid-August the company was in negotiation with potential clients in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah, Tripoli, Iran and Kazakhstan.
 Ufuk Ozturk, president of Regnum Gulf LLC and the eldest son of Fikret Ozturk, founder of the group, has been a regular visitor to the region along with his management team and he explained: “Naturally we are very aware of the opportunities that exist in the region generally for a company that can provide what it promises and at a cost that is not influenced by taking unfair advantage of a supply and demand position.
“We made the decision to come to the Middle East some time ago but we were adamant that we would only do so when we could ensure that the Ozturk and Regnum names could continue to achieve the standing in the various industries in which we trade, and that our reputation could be built on without compromise and we consider that that time is now with us”.
