Salam International Investment (SILL) is supporting as Silver Sponsor the 'Made in Qatar 2017' expo slated from December 14 to 17 at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre. Organised by Qatar Chamber, in cooperation with the Ministry of Energy and Industry, the event features a 20,000 sqm exhibition venue showcasing a wide variety of locally-manufactured products.

Qatar Chamber director-general Saleh bin Hamad al-Sharqi and SILL CEO Abdul Salam Abu Issa signed the sponsorship agreement at the Chamber's headquarters yesterday. Abu Issa said: "We are very proud to join hands with the Chamber in this distinctive exhibition, which is highly supported by various bodies."

He expressed hope that the exhibition "would contribute to promoting locally-manufactured products better" and "would achieve great success in light of the current circumstances imposed on Qatar that saw a great interest in local products from all authorities concerned." Speaking on the company's strategy, Abu Issa noted that the group specialises in several sectors, including timber, electrical boards, glass, carpet, general contracting, retail, and oil services.

"Our strategy currently focuses on strengthening our businesses and developing our products to be more competitive and able to address difficulties and challenges," Abu Issa pointed out. He said the expo provides a "good opportunity" to meet with importers and company representatives and to inform visitors on local products whose quality follow high standard. Al-Sharqi also thanked SILL for supporting 'Made in Qatar'. He noted that the expo offers "an ideal opportunity" for leading companies to enhance their cooperation ties and promote local products.
