Bahrain’s Mueller Middle East exceeds $100mln in annual exports

Copper tube manufacturer Mueller Middle East (MME) has exceeded $100 million in global exports from its base in Bahrain and is targeting $1 billion of exports over the next five years. About 40% of MME’s global exports over the last year were to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and the UAE, followed by Egypt and Jordan, the company revealed in a statement. MME, based in Bahrain, is currently the only copper tube manufacturing facility in the MENA region. The company exports to more than 10 countries, with the US, Canada, Egypt, KSA and the UAE making up the largest share. Most of MME’s products are used by Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). var width=document.documentElement.clientWidth;if(width>=320&&width<728){}; googletag.cmd.push(function(){try{var d=document.documentElement.clientWidth;var a;var c="/21857811890/en.zcom/";var b;if(d>=320&&d<728){a=[300,250];b=["mobile_mr_story"]}else{a=[300,250];b=["MR_Story"]}var h="MR_Story";var g=googletag.defineSlot("/21857811890/en.zcom/",a,"div-gpt-ad-MR_Story").setTargeting("type",b).addService(googletag.pubads());gptAdSlots.push(g);if(h!="MR_Story"){googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(true,true)}googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest();googletag.enableServices();if((h=="PSB_Left")||(h=="mobile_psb_left")||(h=="PSB_Top")||(h=="mobile_psb_top")||(h=="PSB_Bottom")||(h=="mobile_psb_bottom")||(h=="PSB_Middle")||(h=="mobile_psb_middle")||(h=="leaderboard_home")||(h=="leaderboard_bottom_home")||(h=="mobile_leaderboard_home")||(h=="mobile_leaderboard_bottom_home")){setInterval(function(){googletag.pubads().refresh([g])},240000)}}catch(f){console.log("Error loading Ad banner "+h)}}); try{googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-MR_Story")})}catch(e){console.log("Error displaying Ad banner "+bannerName)}; MME commenced operations in Bahrain in 2018 and began to ramp up production from mid-2019 in a bid to grow market share.
