Kuwait Insulating Material Manufacturing Co (Kimmco), the market-leading insulation solutions provider, reinforced its partner relationships and highlighted the high priority it accorded to quality in its manufacturing process and other key issues at an iftar event it held for its UAE customers in Dubai.

'The Kimmco team saw the occasion of the iftar banquet as a forum to reinforce customer relationships and speak about the traits of quality, industry leadership and technical and sales excellence that underpin the insulation group’s brands,' a company statement said.

More than 60 guests representing senior staff of its partners in the emirates were present at the Hyatt Regency Hotel.

Model of Burj Khalifa presented

Shahid Khan, vice president of the insulation group, delivered an address in which he dwelt on the values of teamwork, partnership and mutual success and presented customers with a crystal model of the Burj Khalifa, laser engraved with the Kimmco and Rockwool India brands as a token of Kimmco’s appreciation. Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest tower, is one of the many iconic structures in the GCC region that were insulated by Kimmco.

The company said Burj Khalifa symbolised the passion and dedication of its UAE team.

The company held similar events in select markets during Ramadan as part of its customer outreach programme.

Established in 1977, Kimmco has evolved as a market-leading insulation solutions provider in the Middle East, Africa, the Far East and other Asian countries. As a licensee of Saint Gobain, Isover, the world leader in fibreglass insulation, it manufactures and supplies customised reflective, acoustic and fire resistant insulation solutions.

'With a strong commitment to the environment, health and safety of our people and surrounding communities, we actively collaborate with international organisations such as ISO and OHSAS and are compliant with best-in-class international environmental standards,' Kimmco said.

The company has been certified for the ISO 9001 (quality management system), ISO 14001 (environment management system) and OHSAS 18001 (occupational health and safety system) standards.

It was recently selected by Arabian Business as one of the Top 25 Innovators in the GCC region. Construction Week selected it as one of the 50 Most Admired Suppliers in the same region.
