"Our vision is to become the leader of the steel fabrication and erection industry in the Middle East and we want to participate actively in realising Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030," AI Nafie declares in an exclusive interview with Gulf Construction's Bina Goveas.
"Our aim is to serve the requirements of the numerous planned and ongoing construction projects in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the regional and international markets. The steel fabrication industry in the Gulf needs a continuous supply of products with the highest quality, and environmental compliance. AI Nafie Metal Industries is ahead of its competitors in adopting industrial practices and serving customers with the highest quality, costcompetitive products," he emphasises.
NMI, which is working on landmark projects like the Shuaiba III desalination plant, the Riyadh Metro and the Saudi futuristic city Neom, is capitalising on the surge in Saudi Arabia's construction market, driven by the Vision 2030 programme.
"The demand for steel fabrication has witnessed a dramatic rise in recent years," AI Nafie remarks, highlighting the crucial role steel structures are playing in realising giga-projects like Neom and others in Riyadh and Jeddah.
"Since Saudi Arabia has won the rights to host the 2034 World Cup, demand for steel structures is going to rise to an alltime high in upcoming years," he adds.
