Gulfex entrusts Quant to deliver total maintenance services for their Aluminium Extrusion Facility in the UAE
Quant, the leading global industrial maintenance provider, has signed a total maintenance outsourcing contract with Gulf Extrusions (GULFEX) in UAE effective March, 2018.
The increasing market demand for high quality and eco-friendly aluminium profiles, Gulf Extrusions invest in leading technologies to develop innovative product design to cater the evolving needs of the industry. Being a leading producer of extrusion profiles and to sustain being in the helm it’s imperative to stay focused on the core business while entrusting the non-core functions like maintenance to industrial experts. Understanding these requirements both Gulfex and Quant worked closely to define a performance based model designed to improve the overall plant productivity while optimizing cost that would essentially bring a win-win benefit for both.
