Best Fibreglass Manufacturer 2018 - Saudi Arabia
Al Shair Group of Companies (AG), through its completely owned subsidiaries, provides real-estate services, and property development, mobile on-site car care services and food and beverages. We profiled the firm as we look to gain an insight into the company’s extensive success. ounded in 1979 by Dr. Talal Al-Shair, AlShair Group is a family company at heart. The history of AlShair Group can be traced through three distinct periods. The first period was defined by a desire to establish a place in the market. Fiberglass was new to Saudi Arabia, and AlShair Group was the only domestic producer of its kind. Fiberglass possesses several qualities ideally suited to Saudi Arabia’s climate: it does not suffer from the corrosion and erosion as suffered by steel and wood and requires no maintenance. A good example of the versatility and long-term benefits of fiberglass is the current causeway fiberglass lamp posts to Bahrain (manufactured in1983). The company has since then carefully utilised the natural sand and petrochemical resources of the Kingdom and has expanded offerings to include furnishings, industrial and municipal products
F
In 1981, AlShair Group took its first step away from being solely a manufacturer when it was appointed as the sole distributor of General Electric’s polycarbonate TAS. The experience of introducing fiberglass had left the company well prepared to find applications for the new product and was eventually appointed as the preferred distributor of Lexan across the Middle East In the second phase of its development, starting in 1985, AlShair Group embarked upon a series of capital-intensive, high-tech projects clustered within the new Yanbu Industrial City of the Royal Commission of Jubail and Yanbu. Seeking to encourage growth in the Kingdom’s second strategic city for hydrocarbons and related development and to take advantage of the vast potential of the area as a shipping hub.
to the lead the industry in quality, innovation, and service, by supplying its customers with products of unmatched economic value, through the total commitment of its people”. These words are what drives the employees at Shairco every day. Throughout the Kingdom and the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region, the clientele is varied, and the firm operates in areas that are related to construction, manufacturing, municipal and commercial settings. The services that the group provide are solutions to better suit the needs of its clients from design to manufacturing and installation of fiberglass products that meet the requirements of its clientele. Versatile and adaptable, the group offers a wide variety of light poles, counters, planters, nursing stations, office desks, public seating, industrial products, doors, medicals partitions, playground equipment, water meter boxes, sky light domes, spiral fire escapes, grating, wudu units, canopies, swimming pools, instrumentation boxes, shadings, cable trays, trench covers, boats, corrugated sheets, wall cladding. Additionally, the team also offer custom designs that suit the needs of its clients. With regard to being selected as Best Fibreglass Manufacturer 2018 - Saudi Arabia, the team are humbled to have been awarded and recognised by a third party. The company attributes the success of its company to all the employees who dedicate their time and knowledge and efforts to continue
In 1986, AlShair Group, lead the development of the joint-venture of Cristal, a titanium dioxide pigment manufacturer based in Yanbu. The success of Cristal lead by Dr. Talal Al-Shair would become obvious as time went on, the partners developed the company into the world’s second largest manufacturers of white pigment with plants in Saudi Arabia, U.S.A., U.K., Brazil, France, and Australia.
Some of its most famous projects include the Hajj terminal (Seating and counters) which is located in King Abdul-Aziz International airport in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The Saudi- Bahrain King Fahd Causeway (Light Poles), Yanbu Industrial city where the team provided the majority of street lighting, Train Stations in Mecca, Rabigh, and Jeddah. In addition, Shairco has an extensive list of recent projects providing its products to different entities such as airports, office buildings, and factories. One of its most recent projects for example, is the GRP luggage spiral shoot for the new Jeddah KAIA Airport – terminal 1. The challenge that the team faced was in the design process, due to limited space that was given to the team on the jet way, and to figure out a way to keep all bags safe when sliding down the shoot. Importantly, staff overcame these challenges through its engineering department by using the latest software and CNC prototype for testing, along with many years of experience. The company’s first test concluded with the bags sliding down in nine seconds from a height of 5.5 meters in a shoot with two loops (720 degrees). Another project that the firm undertook, was the decorative street light poles installed in the coastal city of Al Khobar. With regard to what challenges presented themselves, faced, was a very short period for delivery during the holy month of Ramadan. The team overcame the challenge, by working in two shifts for long hours to meet the delivery deadline and official commencement of the new Corniche Park.
As of today, in 2018, Al Shair Group are continuing the vision that was set by Dr. Tala,l maintaining its high standards of work ethics, and providing the best service to the industry and the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The group take great pride in implementing the company’ mission statement; “To achieve and maintain the highest standards of excellence in its field, and

providing the best service to its clientele. Furthermore, the team would also like to thank the top management for the continuous support in all aspects to the company, and for their efforts to make sure that every employee is treated like family. With this award AlShair Group will continue to strive to be the very best, and to maintain a level of excellence for many years to come hopefully.
Working on fibreglass - automotive
Through the company journey, the team discovered that fiberglass is sustainable for its region, it has many attributes that fit perfectly because it has a long life span, fire retardant additives, corrosion proof, chemical resistant,
and strong mechanical properties. The team considers fiberglass a strategic material for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, due to the abundant amount of sand and petroleum as national resources. On the other hand, KSA is lacking other natural resources such as wood and iron available in other regions. Through its many years of experience, the Group discovered that in Saudi Arabia, fiberglass has an extensive market where it provides solutions and sustainable products to its clients. Fiberglass has a wide variety of applications that are essential for its country infrastructure. One example would be the GRP pipes domain that had a huge market demand in the last decade. The main challenge remains to develop suitable products that meet the international, and local certifications and quality systems, while being able to promote its products commercially. The company is more focused on the public-sector buildings, coastal areas infrastructure, and industrial facilities. Well-qualified to undertake any project, the team follows the ISO 9001 certification for all of activities, and is also SASO approved for its light poles. The team also follows the ASTM standards in all of its designing and testing activities. Being located in Saudi Arabia, AlShair Group benefits from providing products that are suitable for this developing area of the world. Its products are demanded due to the harsh environment that it lives in and geographical location. The reason why it is an ideal place for the AlShair Group is that because it is in the heart of the Middle East, the firm has access to serve other neighbouring countries in the region, such as Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Kuwait, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, and Oman. Moving forward, AlShair Group’s plans for the future is to keep on providing the highest quality of fiberglass products to the region and to expand into different markets that will benefit from its products. With the many different projects that are taking place in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia especially for the 2030 vision, Shairco is actively pursuing all new projects. Its vision is always focused on being one of the best “Fiberglass” Companies in the world.

Best Green Pest Free Pallet Manufacturer 2018- Singapore
Green Pallet For Green Packaging
Having been in the timber industry for more than 40 years, LHT is a publicly listed company in Singapore that counts Fortune 500 companies and multinational corporations among its clients as a result of its vast market experience. We profile the firm to find out more. pioneer in the timber market, LHT was the first company in Singapore to have developed EPCIS (Electronic Product Code Information Service), and the firm led the way in the use of UHF RFID Gen 2 pallets, which are essential for automation especially in ASRS (automated storage and retrieval system) warehouses. Additionally, in 1999 the firm established Singapore’s first wood waste recycling plant, which allowed timber industrial waste to be turned into a product known as “technical wood”. This is a compressed engineered wood that can be substituted for natural wood. As a result, LHT Singapore has transformed the market using lower carbon footprint processed wood that made from waste wood materials.

Later, in 2009, LHT collaborated with its government R&D agency known as “SIMTech”, an 18-month project title “EPCIS & Gen 2 RFID Standards ECR Pallet Leasing & Tracking System”. LHT Holdings Main Building
Efficient Consumer Response (ECR), is a strategy to improve consumer choice, satisfaction and service and at the same, reduce total costs, inventories and physical assets. ECR requires distributors and suppliers to focus jointly on the efficiency of the total grocery chain, rather than the efficiency of individual components. The design specifications for the standardised pallet conforms to ISO 6780 which specifies the principal dimensions and tolerances for flat pallets for intercontinental materials handling and to SS 334:1998 Singapore Standard for Specification for Timber Pallets. The firm’s pallet leasing programme involved few grocery manufacturing countries like Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and Singapore, unlike the ECR wooden pallets which required to be heat treated due to compliance ISPM version 15 “Regulation of Wood Packaging Material in International trade. With the newly improved ECR RFID WPC (wood plastic composite) pallets, it does not apply for pallet heat treatment as its exempted for ISPM 15. With this exemption ISPM 15 Clause 2, the RFID ECR WPC pallets flow seamlessly from country to country without any hassle from custom and immigration border. As a result, clients experience a hassle-free service which meets their needs. Overall, LHT is an innovative and dynamic firm which is always conscious of its role in the conservation of natural resources. Recycling is one of many efforts that reflect its commitment towards mitigating climate change and deforestation, and this will remain a key focus for the firm as it looks towards a bright future.

Best Windows & Doors Installation Company - Northern Ontario
Urban Windows & Doors is a unique Sudbury based window and door installation specialist committed to offering local residents a different approach. Co-Founder Claude Paquette talks us through how the firm achieves this ambitious aim. ince the very beginning Urban has been committed to being completely different from the competition and offering a pioneering approach to window and door sales and installation. After serving as sales and management for a couple other local window and door providers Claude Paquette and Don Simoneau strongly felt that the members of the Northern Ontario communities were being somewhat cheated. Bigger markets from the south were designing and supplying better looking and better-quality products then what was available up here.
S
year the products become more and more efficient, we just need to stay on top of new products that are available for our customers so that we can offer them the best solutions on the market with the exceptional service that they have come to rely on.”
In their quest to bring these brand name product lines to the North, they were met with the traditional office politics. It was then they decided to venture out and start their own window and door retail operation. Different from their former employers, their mission would not be to just sell the second-tier quality products with first-tier marketing. They would bring in nothing but the industry’s highest rated products and back them with expert installation and service. From these humble beginnings, Urban came into being, and the firm first opened its doors in January 2006, comprised of industry veterans from the Sudbury area. Claude outlines how far the firm has come over the years and how it works to ensure continued excellence for its valued clientele. “Here at Urban, we offer premium products at great prices, alongside a full service department so that our clients will be fully supported throughout the life-cycle of the quality products we offer. The majority of our clients are home owners purchasing replacement windows and doors, and as such we work hard to utilise our expertise to ensure that they receive the products and services that they need, at a price they can afford. Customer service is our priority, because we understand that happy customers are repeat customers and provide referrals, bringing in even more exciting projects for us to work on. Our slogan is ‘because you only want to do this once’, and we use this is our guide line for successful dealings with our suppliers and customers.” As he looks towards the future, Claude is keen to emphasise Urban’s ongoing focus on sustainability and customer service.
“Ultimately, the future looks bright for Urban as we seek to continue offering our clients the same exceptional level of service, whilst focusing on ensuring that our solutions are sustainable and continue to meet their needs. Every
