Al Muqarram Industry demonstrated its sustainability strategy at the Big 5 Global Construction Summit.
As sustainability in construction is widely expected to take centre stage in 2023, driven by rising consumer demand for sustainable living and working spaces, the focus is now shifting towards adopting eco-friendly building processes and materials.
As part of the participation in this year’s international building and construction show in the UAE – The Big 5 – the regional leader in construction chemicals Al Muqarram Industry (Dolphin Products) showcased how the regional construction sector’s commitment to sustainability is delivering sustainable yet functional projects.
According to Emmanuel de Smedt, the Managing Director at Al Muqarram Industry, the company’s involvement in The Big 5 under the theme – Taking steps towards sustainability – demonstrated its strong commitment to transforming the construction industry through sustainable processes, technologies and the development of need-driven building materials.
“The Big 5 showcase has always been an important platform for the regional construction industry. Apart from being part of this year’s event to build stronger business partnerships and foster robust global and regional networks, we also aimed to drive the sustainability agenda by reiterating its importance and benefits. To demonstrate this, we highlighted some of our flagship products that are helping players in the industry to shift to sustainable construction seamlessly,” said Emmanuel.
