HH the Heir Apparent Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani visitng the SIIL stand at the ‘Made in Qatar’ exhibition.
Local conglomerate Salam International Investment Ltd (SIIL) is a diamond sponsor of the “Made in Qatar” exhibition which concludes today at Doha Exhibition Centre.
Being held under the patronage of HH the Heir Apparent Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, the event aims to attract investment in the manufacturing sector while promoting and showcasing locally manufactured products.
SIIL has joined hands with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, which worked in co-operation with the Ministry of Energy and Industry to use the exhibition to contribute in building the national economy.
SIIL is also a key exhibitor at “Made in Qatar”.
SIIL board member and executive director Bassam Abu Issa said that it is an honour to welcome HH Sheikh Tamim to the SIIL booth at “Made in Qatar”.
“It is the steady vision of the leadership of this nation that is steering to Qatar to greater heights and SIIL considers it a privilege to unhesitatingly contribute to that vision. This year at ‘Made in Qatar’ SIIL showcased 12 of our manufacturing businesses.
“Out of a total of 31 business units spread across four sectors of Energy and Industry, Luxury Retail and Hospitality, Technology, and Contracting, which make up SIIL’s local and regional offering, SIIL was proud to introduce these 12 units which are totally focused on not just crafting and creating products but also raising the manufacturing standards of Qatari products, thereby attracting investment at multiple levels.
“We are keenly aware that this is a critical factor towards diversifying Qatar’s economy and we fully support the country’s leadership in their efforts towards it. Our participation and support of ‘Made in Qatar’ is just one symbolic gesture of this commitment.”
SIIL’S deputy chief operating officer Abdul Salam Abu Issa went on to say that 2013 marks a special year for Salam as the company completes 60 years. “As a Qatari company it is a matter of pride and performance for SIIL to enrich the economy by developing Qatar-made products across its four business sectors; products known for quality, custom-made design, and quick delivery.”
In 2012, SIIL was awarded the honour of being the second leading Qatari company in the service sector.
