DOHA QATAR’S first electrical equipment manufacturing facility was formally inaugurated by the Minister of State for Energy and Industry Affairs HE Mohammed bin Saleh al Sada in the Industrial Area on Sunday 31-10 -2010.
The QR 100-million facility is a joint venture between Al Farraj Trading & Manufacturing Company (FTMC) and Al Jaber Group.
We manufacture and assemble General Electric’s (GE) low- voltage switchgear where FTMC is a licensed GE electrical distribution panel builder.
The new facility is expected to create up to 150 new jobs in the country and serve the growing electricity needs of the commercial as well as residential sectors in Qatar as well as the region.
Al Farraj Trading & Manufacturing Company (FTMC) had recently signed an agreement with GE to assemble and supply GE electrical equipment to five Middle Eastern countries—Qatar, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kuwait, Oman and Jordan. The new GE facility in Doha is a part of the agreement.
The 7,000 square meter FTMC plant will manufacture electrical equipment, including electrical distribution boards and sub-main distribution panels equipped with GE electrical components, used in the protection and distribution of electricity in residential, commercial and industrial applications.
