Electrosteel sets up USD 6.6 mn warehouse in Bahrain

Electrosteel Castings, the world's third largest producer of ductile iron (DI) pipes and ancillary products, today inaugurated its USD 6.6 million warehouse in Bahrain.
The USD 6.6 million warehouse in Bahrain will be "a one stop solution for water projects, for the Bahrain & Middle East markets", the company said in a statement.
"The Bahrain facility will act as Electrosteel's regional hub for sales and distribution activities to the Northern Middle Eastern markets. Electro steel employs more than ten thousand staff across the Globe," the company said.
Electrosteel is the second Indian firm in recent months to expand into Bahrain.

In November 2015 Synergies Castings, one of India's leading aluminium casters and manufacturers of alloy wheels, signed a joint venture with Mumtalakat Holding Company, the investment arm of Bahrain's sovereign wealth fund to establish a manufacturing facility in that country, it added.
Electrosteel, listed on the Singapore as well as on the BSE & the National Stock Exchange, is a global supplier to over 50 countries, with nine subsidiary companies and distribution centres across the globe; including in the US, the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy & the UAE.
