Over the last three decades, we have maintained a leading position in a competitive regional market. This has been made possible by our entrepreneurial spirit, living up to commitments and unstinted support of the stakeholders. Our emergence as an EPCC contractor is aligned with a vision of progressing up the value chain to a sustainable extent. This process of development shall remain under focus during the coming years. For us what matters most is customer satisfaction which we have to balance against our growth pattern. At the heart of all operations remain our team members who have the spirit to push boundaries and of fostering a culture of accepting challenges. In the coming years, we will continue to reinforce our successful track record. New contracts shall translate into improved efficiencies by re-mapping our internal processes using tools like SAP. The challenges in the markets continue but we look at them as opportunities to make ourselves better.
