It sources raw materials from India and China and benefits from the UAE and Europe for logistics and quality advantages. Future expansion is being considered in the UAE and Qatar, driven by strong construction activity and market similarities with Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What\u2019s next? <\/strong>The company plans to focus on scaling up its factories and raw materials segment while continuing to invest in AI-driven procurement tools, Manna added.
