Following the strategic combination of Arkan and Emirates Steel, which created the UAE’s largest steel and building materials company, Arkan Building Materials Company today (November 11) appointed its top officials at the board of directors meeting. 

 

Hamad Abdulla Mohamed AlShorafa Alhammadi has been named the chairman and Engineer Jamal Salem Obaid Salem Al Dhaheri the vice chairman, while Saeed Ghumran Saeed Salem Alremeithi will take over the role of Group CEO. 

 

The move comes following the appointment of Arkan’s new board which was announced on November 4 at the company’s General Assembly Meeting. 

 

On the key appointment, Alhammadi said: "I am pleased to be leading Arkan into its next phase of growth alongside the Vice Chairman, Group CEO and newly appointed board. The transaction created a listed national champion in the building materials and construction sector, combining two sector leaders and thereby expanding Arkan’s product portfolio and strengthening the Company’s position to capitalize on emerging growth opportunities."

 

"As homegrown manufacturers, we want to ensure that we are at the forefront of the UAE’s economic diversification strategy, whilst also expanding our presence in the region and globally. I would like to thank the Board of Directors and I look forward to working together," he stated.
