“Oman is an important market for HLG and we are grateful to have been selected by Oman Aluminium Rolling Company to build their plant facility," he said. "This project award acknowledges that we have the local skills and experience that our clients require delivering a best-in-class project.”
He added that the firm is focussed on securing projects that showcase its international strength.
