Armacell, a company that
develops flexible foam for the equipment insulation industry, announced plans
this week to build a new manufacturing facility in Bahrain.
“The
Bahraini government has created world-class infrastructure greatly benefiting
companies such as Armacell, and businesses are increasingly realizing the
logistical and economic benefits of locating here,” Zayed Al Zayani, minister of Industry, Commerce and Tourism, said. “Choosing Bahrain as a location for
Armacell’s
manufacturing facility is a reflection of investor confidence and testament to
our business-friendly environment. This is a very exciting project, and we look
forward to working closely with Aramcell, as they develop their business model.”
The facility will be housed
at the Bahrain International Investment Park. At this location, Armacell plans
to produce elastomeric rubber installation for the heating, ventilation and air
conditioning marketing in the Gulf Coast and Africa. The Bahrain Economic
Development Board (EDB) helped Armacell go through the registration process for
constructing the facility.
“We are proud to see
Armacell’s progress
in establishing its new manufacturing facility in Bahrain,” Khalid Al
Rumaihi, CEO of the EDB, said.
