PIEDRA Systems Inc. will ship manufactured stones to Iran, a company
executive said Monday.
Alan Guzman, Piedra Systems Inc. vice-president,
said the company was chosen by the Iran-based Environmental
Architecture Gallery to provide the manufactured stones for its Iran
and Dubai facilities.
Environmental Architecture will import five to
20 containers of processed stones from Piedra.
Iran’s booming construction industry has
created a large demand for manufactured stone veneers, but its
restrictions on US imports allowed sourcing its requirements from
Philippine and other companies.
Piedra Systems is one of the eight companies
that joined the Philippine delegation to the Big 5 Show 2007
organized by the Department of Trade and Industry- Center for
International Trade Expositions and Missions.
For two consecutive years, Philippine building
materials manufacturers have established their presence in the
Middle East through the Big 5 Show, the largest and longest-running
construction and contracting event in the Gulf region.
Because of the positive response to Philippine
building materials makers, CITEM is completing a list of
manufacturers that will join the Big 5 Show this year at the Dubai
International Exhibition Centre.
Big 5 is an ideal platform to promote a wide
range of products and services like building systems, components,
materials, fittings, and construction services, technologies for
water and environment, air conditioning and refrigeration,
cleaning and maintenance tools and equipment among others.
