GF und das 1977 gegründete Unternehmen Corys Piping Systems (CPS), das 2022 einen Umsatz von rund CHF 80 Mio. erzielte, blicken auf eine langjährige Partnerschaft zurück.

Ein herzliches Willkommen an alle Mitarbeitenden von CPS."

Mohammed Abdulghaffar Hussain, Executive Director von Green Coast Enterprises, der Holdinggesellschaft von CPS: "Als Gruppe haben wir eine transformative Vision für nachhaltiges Wachstum im Nahen Osten, und CPS hat bei der Verwirklichung dieser Vision eine entscheidende Rolle gespielt. Wir sind begeistert, unsere Kräfte mit GF zu bündeln und unseren jetzigen und zukünftigen Kunden hervorragende Dienstleistungen anzubieten."

GF Corys wird Vertriebsbüros und wichtige Produktionsstätten in den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten, Oman, Bahrain und Kuwait umfassen und rund 450 Mitarbeitende beschäftigen. Das derzeitige Führungsteam von CPS bleibt an Bord und wird unterstützt durch das Executive-Team von GF, um die Kontinuität des Unternehmens zu gewährleisten. In naher Zukunft ist geplant, in den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten ein Flagship-Kundenerlebnis- und Schulungszentrum einzurichten und die lokalen Produktionskapazitäten zu erweitern.
