Gulf Extrusions signs $3.5m deal to supply aluminum profiles for world's most expensive home

Expected to be the world's most expensive home, the 27-storied residence with six floors of parking, belongs to the Chairman of Reliance Industries, Mukesh Ambani.

The 'Antilia Residence' is designed as the largest and tallest 'living wall' in the world - a seamless, vertical garden that encompasses all walls of the building. The residence - which upon completion mid next year will scale a height of 173 meters - will feature an entertainment floor; a health floor with a swimming pool and health club; a helipad; six floors of apartments for the Ambani family and their guests; and terrace gardens.

Robert Holtkamp, Director of Sales and Marketing, Gulf Extrusions, said,

"Being chosen to supply aluminum profiles for such a prestigious project in India is a reflection of the excellent reputation Gulf Extrusions has built over the years. Moreover, this project will also strategically complement our plans to expand our presence in the high potential Indian markets."

Gulf Extrusions, which is part of the Al Ghurair Group of Companies, produces profiles ranging from architectural sections to components for household items, AC grills and customized products. The company also extrudes products of several European suppliers and companies under agreement.

Nearly 70% of Gulf Extrusions' production is supplied to the domestic market to support the enormous construction projects in the UAE. The rest are exported to South East Asia, other GCC countries, Europe and Canada.
