Yucel Demirbas has been appointed as Assistant General Manager at MBS, which has fast become a leader in the manufacture of pre-engineered steel buildings in the Middle East and Subcontinent.
Yucel has 10 years of operational experience in construction and engineering companies in the Middle East and Turkey. He will be involved in bringing improved efficiencies to the operations of MBS. Most recently, Yucel worked with a consortium that included Mitsubishi Corporation on the Dubai Metro project.
MBS is now able to deliver 6,000 tons of pre-engineered steel and over 180,000 sqms of polyurethane injected sandwich panels per month and is about to implement expansion plans doubling this production capacity over the next year. The company is keen to use this advantage to gain new business in the region and in new markets and with this in mind has brought on board a seasoned industry professional, John Wilson, as General Manager - Sales.
John has 35 years experience in the PEB industry in many countries, having started as an erector and progressed to running his own contracting company, giving him a true understanding of customers' needs.
'Pre-engineered steel buildings are growing in popularity in this region due to their economy and speed of construction. Our aim is to build on this acceptance of the PEB concept in the Middle East and spread the message to new markets,' says John Wilson.
'Clients are looking for fast and economical solutions to their space requirements and MBS can provide these, whether it is for conventional factories or warehouses or more complex projects like the facilities we have supplied for the Dubai World Central International Airport in Jebel Ali or Lahore Expo Centre in Pakistan. There is plenty of demand and both John and I look forward to fulfilling MBS' potential,' adds Yucel Demirbas.
MBS' Managing Director, Bob Webster, is confident that the newcomers will continue to build on the momentum the organization has generated.
'Since our inception in 1997, we've built a solid business around our particular concept of PEB systems. Our service and quality is second-to-none and our aim is to continue growing our market beyond the Middle East and the Subcontinent. John and Yucel's combined expertise is perfectly suited to the task at hand and I am very pleased with our appointments,' explains Bob Webster.
