As part of inaugurating the 4th edition of “Made in Qatar” exhibition recently at Doha Exhibition Center, for which Qatar Primary Materials Company (QPMC) is the silver sponsor, Prime Minister and Interior Minister H E Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa Al Thani, visited QPMC’s pavilion to learn about the company’s progress and latest achievements.
Eisa Al Hammadi, QPMC Chief Executive Officer (CEO) accompanied the Prime Minister on a guided tour around the pavilion presenting QPMC’s projects.
In the course of his presentation at Made in Qatar 2015, Eisa Al Hammadi shed light on QPMC’s conveyor belt project which is expected to be completed in October 2015. Once this work is over, the company’s total capacity will go up to 35 million tonnes per annum from the existing 22 million tonnes, a significant increase of 13 million tonnes.
Al Hammadi stressed that QPMC’s belt conveyor project is one of the largest in the Middle East, the first of its kind in the region and one of the mega projects in the world in this area. Belt conveyors are being set up for up to 5 kilometers starting from the port leading to the storage area using the latest equipment. 4,000 trucks per day will be operating around the clock to deliver gabbro all over Qatar.
“QPMC attaches great importance to such major exhibitions that rally local companies in Qatar and underline the immense potential for private businesses including SMEs in State infrastructure development in line with delivering the country’s 2030 vision and its strategic priorities. The continuing success of Made in Qatar therefore reflects the sizeable investment opportunities in Qatar’s building infrastructure that make it one of the most attractive markets for doing business in the region. With Qatar’s project market experiencing a boom in construction ahead of the 2022 World Cup, QPMC has been able to support the demand for much needed primary materials, with a strong commitment to build long-lasting relationships with its suppliers and customers,” said Al Hammadi.
