“It is with a great honor that we announce the distinctive gains achieved by GEZE with the double win of the German Design Award 2018” declared Charles Constantin; Managing Director GEZE Middle East.  The German Innovation Award recognizes innovative products and solutions from all industries that stand out from current solutions due to their significantly greater benefit. It thus makes exceptional services visible to a broader public. GEZE has numerous innovations that make lives better, easier and more pleasant, and that shape the future. Sometimes they are obvious, as in the case of the GEZE ActiveStop door damper. But GEZE often enjoys the added convenience or the enhanced security of a product without being able to imagine the innovative strength behind it, this could be the case with the climate-active façade with GEZE IQ box KNX.

62-year-old Abdul and 72-year-old Alia, both Egyptian nationals, couldn’t sit or walk a few months back, but now find it easy to prostrate and walk briskly. Things were not this easy when they were first diagnosed with osteoarthritis. However, unlike the usual belief, the elderly man and woman opted for a surgical treatment to put their pain at bay.

He felt terribly upset that he couldn’t pray ... Read more »

Stricter regulations to change supply and demand of the coatings landscape in the country, notes Frost & Sullivan’s Chemicals Practice

Dubai, United Arab Emirates-Sunday 24 June 2018 [ AETOS Wire ]

Mass and industrial production of coating products in Iran dates back to the 1940s and started with a nominal capacity of less than 20 million litres per annum in the decorative sector only.

At present, the coatings segment in Iran is facing an over-capacity situation with imports accounting for minor share in supply. Inappropriate go-to-market strategies, traditional management, lack of liquidity, obsolete formulation and inefficient sales channels are key restraints that hold back a positive growth in this industry. Consequently, the government is actively looking to attract international players to take a role to not only ... Read more »
