Minister Hamilton Congratulates Ulster Carpets on new UAE deal

Ulster Carpets has today welcomed Minister for the Economy Simon Hamilton MLA to our Dubai Office. The Minister congratulated Ulster on our latest high profile export deal to the region.

Minister Hamilton said: “This latest deal in Dubai with a luxury five star resort on The Palm, demonstrates just how much the quality of Northern Ireland produce is appreciated here.

“The hotel business in UAE is a growing market, with demand for quality, high-end products. Invest NI has been working with a number of Northern Ireland companies to help them win business with hotels here – from new carpets, to linen and foods. Northern Ireland also had a presence at The Hotel Show in Dubai last month, for the first time, with companies such as Ulster Carpets showcasing their world class offerings.”

Scott Hanna from Ulster Carpets said: “We are delighted to have secured this high profile contract with an international chain to carpet a luxury 5 star resort on The Palm. We have worked with local interior designers and the hotel to develop breath-taking designs which will be revealed when the hotel opens in early 2017.

“This is the latest in a long list of prestigious contracts for Ulster Carpets in the Gulf Region, including the Burj Al Arab Dubai, the Sofitel Dubai Downtown, the Hilton Suites, the Marriott, the Conrad and the Hilton Convention of the Jabal Omar Development in Makkah KSA.”

Domotex 2016

Domotex 2016 took place last month in Hannover, Germany.  With 45,000 visitors in attendance from over 100 countries, it is one of the largest carpet and floor covering shows in the world.  Ulster Carpets was one of 1,441 exhibitors which came from 59 different countries.  In conjunction with Danfloor, who are part of the Ulster Group, we had an impressive stand which showcased all of the products from Ulsters bespoke axminster carpets to Danfloors tufted ranges.

With the show being described as ‘an unrivaled source of momentum for the global floor coverings industry’ (Dr Jocken Kockler, Deutsche Messe Managing Board member in charge of Domotex), we couldn’t miss this opportunity to encourage sales, discover emerging trends and share customers with Danfloor.  This year we had a larger stand than previously, allowing more visitors to come and go.  We were extremely busy throughout the four days, in particular visitors were very interested in the striking installation shots of our recent projects, especially the Sofitel Dubai.  We appreciate that Domotex is a fantastic opportunity to gain new customers and develop relationships with our existing customers, we are already looking forward to Domotex 2017!

Month 3 – Time Lapse Video

Work continued until mid November 2015 to complete the foundations for the new Dyehouse.  With 2,700 metres of concrete piling there is 68 tonne of reinforcing steel and 648 cubic metres of concrete poured into the ground beams and ‘holding down’ bolts for the main steel structure.

The erecting of the 176 tonne steel structure has been at a dramatic pace with completion of this in the next few days, following which preparations will start for the pouring of the concrete for the mezzanine floor.

We have captured the progress with time-lapse photography and you can view the third video on both our Contract (News / Latest News) & Residential (Blog / Sustainability) websites.  It can also be found through links on the social media feeds for Facebook & Twitter.
There are also still images showing the progress of the foundations on our Contract (Sustainability/New Developments) & Residential (About / Profile/Dye House) websites.

Enjoy the third video from the 1st phase of the new investment in the complete regeneration of all manufacturing and support facilities.
