Astad unveils plans for regional expansion in Gulf area

Construction firm Astad recently announced plans for regional expansion in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region during the Qatar-Saudi Economic Forum held in Riyadh.
 
CEO Ali al-Khalifa showcased the firm’s experiences in Qatar during a speech at the event and talked about the company's plans to support the achievement of the Saudi National Vision 2030.
 
“Our operations outside of Qatar have launched,” al-Khalifa said. “The motivation behind this expansion comes from the accumulated experience we have in Qatar. We are a fully-integrated project and asset management firm with a portfolio of projects that reflect our teams’ innovation. We believe the experience, knowledge, and excellence that we have built in Qatar over the years will prove to be beneficial to our clients in Saudi Arabia and the wider region.”
