In the summer of 2005, two leaders in their respective markets, the Sossai and Sharaf Groups, have joined forces to create Somec-Sharaf Middle East LLC. With a joint vision to be a market leader in the Architectural Envelope Industry, the two groups set out from the start in establishing a locally based production facility. Abiding to strict Italian quality and performance standards, the new production facility will be located in Jebel Ali, thus facilitating prompt, and efficient service to the local and regional markets.
