INTRODUCTION

It is human nature that most Customers tend to deal with companies with whom they are familiar rather than explore new possibilities. Yet half of the 30 greatest global companies today did not exist 50 years ago. Every year new great companies in every industry and sector capture market share from older more complacent companies and gradually become the Preferred Choice of Customers. Their success is attributed to the same factors that led to the success of their predecessors; namely good leadership, Customer focus, intelligent use of current technology, attention to details at all levels and a commitment to deliver solutions through superior products and services. Mabani Steel is such a great company. It has risen from a startup in 2006 to become the preferred designer, fabricator and erector of Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings (PEB) in the Middle East & Africa.It is the fastest growing PEB Supplier in history. No PEB Supplier has ever before risen from 0 metric tons (MT) shipments to a 12 month average monthly shipment of 4150 MT in less than 3 years. Less than 3 years after the start of production in April 2007 we are recognized by Consultants, Specialized PEB Contractors, General Contractors and Owners (in our Target Market) as the New Benchmark in PEB. This brochure highlights some of the factors that have contributed to Mabani Steels success in our target market.

FUNDAMENTAL STRENGTHS
1. BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY Mabani Steels business practices are based on total transparency with Customers and all Stakeholders. We believe that trust is the glue that binds & sustains relationships and we will never exploit a relationship to further our own interests. We understand that a Customer who trusts us ensures our future business. We depend on such satisfied Customers for references, repeat work and our future success.

By treating our employees the way we want them to treat our best Customers we let our employees understand that the interests of our Customers are as important to us as our own interests. Our goal is not to exploit our Customers in one project but to gain them as lifetime Customers

2. FINANCIAL STRENGTH Mabani Steel is equally owned by Al Rajhi Holding and Engineer Raed Al Mashal. Al Rajhi is one of the 10 largest business groups in the Middle East. Mr. Al Mashal is a prominent & reputable Saudi businessman. Mabani Steels financial strength enabled it to bid and execute big projects from day one. Mabani Steel operates in strict accordance with International Accounting Practices adhering to a high level of ethics and a level of professionalism and transparency that is typically found in highly developed industrial countries. 3. HUGE OVERALL CAPACITY Our engineering, production & shipment capacity is: 6000 Metric Tons (MT) of PEB per month 2000 Metric Tons (MT) of HRSS per month 6000 MT of PEB/month is equivalent to a building foot print of 250,000 m2/month or 3 million m2/year. Mabani Steels monthly capacity to fabricate 3600 MT of welded plate built-up structural I members (the heart of the PEB system) and 2000 MT of Hot Rolled Structural members (Structural Steel) puts it in a unique position. We are a rarity in our Target Market because we produce both products in the same facility; a combination that gives us a great competitive edge, in both capacity and economy, when bidding for large complex Hybrid Structures. 4. WIDE GEOGRAPHICAL PRESENCE Mabani Steel maintains direct sales presence in 17 cities: 3 in UAE (Abu Dhabi, Dubai & Ras Al Khaimah), 3 in Saudi Arabia (Riyadh, Jeddah & Khobar), 3 in Iraq (Baghdad, Erbil & Basra), 2 in Pakistan (Karachi & Lahore), 2 in Africa (Ghana & Tanzania) and one in each of Qatar, Bahrain, Oman & Yemen; and presence through Certified Builders in each of Kuwait, Sudan, Libya, Sri Lanka and Philippines. Whether you are a Contractor, a Consultant or an Owner/Developer our highly technical sales staff and Certified Builders are ready to help you do more with fewer resources by depending on us. Our Sales Offices are staffed with technically trained Engineers who will process your building requirements into economical, code compliant steel structures/buildings.

The function of our Sales Offices is to provide Customers with comprehensive technical support at the local level.

They take immediate corrective action, after materials are delivered, with regard to shortages (if any), damages (if any) and quality non conforming components (if any).

PRE-CONTRACT STRENGTHS
5. MOST SCOPE COMPLIANT Mabani Steel is the only PEB Manufacturer in our Target Market that has an Estimating Department (separate and distinct from The Engineering Department) whose staff is engaged solely in precontract activities. Our Estimating Department is staffed with 14 highly experienced structural design engineers and 4 proposal draftsmen. We have sufficient resources to thoroughly review Consultant drawings & specifications and translate them into economical structural solutions. This is why we are the worlds most compliant PEB Company when it comes to addressing Customer requirements. Our Estimating department is led by a professional structural engineer with more than 18 years of experience in the structural design & estimating of PEBs.

7. MOST CODE COMPLIANT Mabani Steel is the only PEB Company in our Target Market that proactively advocates the use of the latest U.S. design codes & building codes applicable to the design & fabrication of the PreEngineered Steel Buildings (PEB) & Hot Rolled Steel Structures (HRSS).

Estimating Department 6. MOST COMPREHENSIVE QUOTATIONS Our quotations are presented in the form of comprehensive proposal offers with detailed proposal drawings. Our aim is to ensure that our scope of supply exactly matches your requirements.

8. FASTEST DELIVERY Since its inception, Mabani Steel has met contractual delivery commitments for site delivery over 98% of the time. Although our standard delivery (Dispatch of materials) period is 8 weeks, we have actually achieved 6 weeks delivery for 74% of our projects.

9. LOWEST PRICES Mabani Steel offers the lowest prices in our Target Market whenever our proposal offers are evaluated on the exact same scope and design basis as our competitors. This can be attributed to the modern state-of-the art production machinery & efficient material handling systems deployed in our factory, the executive managements 35 years of PEB experience in both the USA and Middle East, our exceptionally high overall capacity and our technical engineering expertise in producing economical structural designs. 10. MOST WILLING TO ACCEPT PEBSS SUPPLY ONLY

Customer Service Department 12. HIGHEST DESIGN EXPERTISE Mabani Steel employs more than 100 structural engineers of whom more than 40 are engaged daily in generating structural designs. We are experts in the design of both Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings (PEB) and Hot Rolled Steel Structures (HRSS). We use Staad Pro to generate economical and safe designs for hot rolled steel structures. For PEB design we use MBS software developed by Metal Buildings Software Inc. (MBS), a U.S. based software developer whose PEB design software is used by over 1,500 engineers in over 120 companies worldwide. Our Engineering Department is led by the best Structural Engineer in the PEB Industry in the Middle East, who has more than 16 years experience in the structural design of both PEB and HRSS.

PEB PPA

= PEBSS + PPA = Panel & Panel Accessories

PEBSS = PEB Steel Structure

Most PEB Manufacturers are reluctant to supply only PEB Steel Structures PEBSS, i.e., without including the Panels & Panel Accessories PPA. They often increase the price of the PEBSS when they are asked to delete the PPA from their scope. Mabani Steel willingly reveals the prices of both the PEBSS and PPA at the initial quotation stage and does not add a premium to the PEBSS supply price if PPA is removed from the supply scope.

POST CONTRACT STRENGTHS

11. FLAWLESS JOB MANAGEMENT Once a contract is signed, Mabani Steels Customer Service Department (CSD) assigns it a job no., enters it in the Orders Register and manages it until all the buildings/structures in the job are fully erected. This department schedules the processing of approval drawings, erection drawings, production and final dispatch. The department is led by the most experienced Customer Service Manager in the PEB Industry in the Middle East with over 25 years of PEB experience in Estimating, Sales and Customer Service.

We bid on a wide range of Predesigned Hot Rolled Steel Structures. If given the opportunity to design these structures from scratch, we are almost always able to save at least 20% of the weight of structures. Our extensive experience and our confidence in our design tools enable us to achieve tremendous savings whenever the design is in our scope.

13. MOST COMPREHENSIVE DESIGN CALCULATIONS AND APPROVAL DRAWINGS Mabani Steel has the fastest engineering cycle time for submittal of detailed approval drawings in our Target Market. We provide the most comprehensive and easy to understand design calculations and approval drawings in this industry, anywhere. 14. QUICK DISPATCH OF ANCHOR BOLTS Immediately after receiving technical approval for a building or structure, we take off the required anchor bolts and pack them for immediate dispatch to site. In certain export markets we maintain a stock of anchor bolts in our Sales Offices to ensure fast delivery. 15. FAST SUBMITTAL OF A.B. DRAWINGS We understand the urgency for final Column Reactions and Anchor Bolts Drawings. For buildings with only minor changes in the returned approval drawings, we submit Anchor Bolt Drawings within 1-2 weeks of receiving our marked approval drawings at our Head Office. 16. MOST CODE COMPLIANT WELDING The single most important production task in steel fabrication is welding. We comply fully with AWS Code (American Welding Society) welding standards, a rarity in our Target Market. We qualify all inhouse welds for the following 3 variables: Joint Type, Welding Consumables and Base Metal Specification. Any time a significant deviation in any of these 3 variables occurs, we requalify the welds in line with the requirements of American Welding Society D1. All our welders are AWS tested, qualified and certified. Sample Page of Anchor Bolts Drawings 17. QUICK RELEASE OF JOBS No job is released for production or shipment without the formal approval of the Finance Department. Mabani Steel Finance Department works closely with Customers to ensure that letters of credit are opened correctly to avoid amendments that may delay the dispatch of urgently needed materials. The department is led by our Chief Financial Officer, a CPA holder and one of the most knowledgeable Finance Managers in the PEB industry.

POST SHIPMENT STRENGTHS

18. COMPLETE PHASED SHIPMENTS For large jobs Mabani Steel details, fabricates and ships the PEB Steel Structure PEBSS in phases of approximately 150 metric tons (8-10 trailers) to help the erector better manage material delivery & storage at site. Each phased shipment is accurate & complete. It includes all columns, rafters, bracing, purlins, girts, bolts, etc. and is fully erectable. Subsequent phases are shipped in one week intervals or as directed by the Customer. Mabani Steel pre-packs and stores all the components of a PEBSS phase in our factory in a manner that enables loading on trailers within 24 hours of release for shipment. When Panels & Panel Accessories PPA are included in our scope they are shipped as directed by the Customer. 19. QUALITY ERECTION BY MABANI STEEL Within the UAE Mabani Steel offers full erection services using its own 300 men strong Erection Teams. In other GCC countries we execute erection by subcontracting to experienced Erectors under close monitoring by our area resident Erection Specialists. Our erection quality surpasses the quality of most other PEB Erectors. The department adheres to the safety requirements of UAEs Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority (JAFZA), the most stringent organization in our Target Market when it comes to erection safety. Having the supply and erection under a single responsibility greatly reduces potential conflicts between Supplier & Customer, Customer & Erector and Supplier & Erector. It considerably shortens the erection period because of the rapid response of the Supplier to the Erectors needs. Over 70% of Mabani Steel erection projects were completed within their contractual period, despite delays that were due to the actions/in-actions of other contractors employed by the Customer.

20. SUPPORT FOR ERECTION BY OTHERS Mabani Steel employs an Erection Specialist in each of its Sales Offices. His role is to provide erection support throughout the erection period of a job making sure that buildings are properly erected. Customers who are unfamiliar with PEB should contact our erection specialist for advice at the technical approval stage. The Erection Specialist provides valuable advice to erectors on the type of equipment and tools to use, the proper sequence of erection and the no. of erectors required for specific erection tasks.

21. QUICK RESOLUTION OF SITE CLAIMS All PEB suppliers experience situations whereby some components may have been damaged during transport, some may be quality non-conforming and some may be short shipped. Mabani Steels Rapid Response Claims System, is designed to quickly resolve such problems. Mabani Steels area resident Erection Specialist assists the Erector in raising claims for damaged materials (if any), short shipped materials (if any) or to rectify quality non conforming components (if any). to make sure that the integrity of all structure components is preserved and that the contractual erection schedule is maintained. If a site dispute arises our first goal is to ensure that the erection activity is not interrupted.

A properly erected PEB is like a well tailored Suit. You can judge its quality at a glance.

SUPERIOR PRODUCT FEATURES

22. ROBUST ENDWALL CONSTRUCTION Every Pre-Engineered Steel Building (PEB) has 2 endwall frames. An endwall frame may be the same as an interior (rigid main frame) or may be a Bearing (light) frame. Most PEB manufacturers use light gauge cold formed members for the construction of Bearing frames. Mabani Steel uses built-up or hot rolled members in the construction of all endwall frames. This provides a more robust endwall and considerably reduces the number of components that need to be installed. 23. GALVANIZED SECONDARY MEMBERS Some PEB manufacturers still supply alkyd primed (red oxide or gray oxide) secondary members. Mabani Steel produces all secondary (Z & C Sections) members from pre-galvanized G-90 high strength steel. Galvanized secondary members include roof purlins, wall girts, base angles, gable angles, framed opening channels and sliding door members. 24. 100% BLASTING OF PRIMARY MEMBERS Most PEB manufacturers clean primary (built-up & hot rolled) structural members using mechanical brushing or solvent cleaning. Mabani Steel shot blasts all primary structural components. Mabani Steels minimum blasting standard is Swedish Sa2. If specified, Sa 2.5 can easily be achieved in our two sophisticated blasting machines. Our one of a kind shot blaster is designed to clean even the most difficult-to-reach areas of complex structural members Paint Machine 25. ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY PAINT SYSTEM Most PEB manufacturers use manual or semi automated paint systems to apply paint; an approach that produces uneven Dry film Thicknesses (DFT). Excessive application of paint entraps solvents prolonging curing times which may lead to paint cracking. Under-application of paint results in less protection. Mabani Steels state of the art automated paint equipment uniquely includes a preheat for the steel members prior to the paint application, a flash-off chamber to optimize VOC (Volatile organic compounds) migration prior to curing, and a temperature controlled heated curing tunnel with conveyor speed that is specific to both the paint type and application paint thickness. The result is hard, durable and evenly applied coatings. 26. HIGH QUALITY PRIMER PAINT Mabani Steels Standard coating is a 50 microns Epoxy Primer in Red or Grey Colors only. It is considerably more durable than the Alkyd primer used by other Steel Fabricators.

Blasting Machine

27. AZ COATED STEEL PANELS When steel panels are specified, Mabani Steel uses only AZ (Aluminium Zinc) Coated Steel Panels that are 4 times more resistant to rust than G-90 galvanized Panels. Panels are stocked in two thicknesses: 0.5 mm and 0.7 mm in both Mill finish and Polyester Painted finishes. 28. ALUMINUM PANELS Aluminum panels have superior resistance to corrosion and we strongly recommend them for humid climates and in coastal areas. Panels are available in 0.7mm thick polyester painted finishes. 29. POPULAR PANEL COLORS The raw materials coils for 0.5 mm & 0.7mm thick AZ Coated steel and 0.7mm thick Aluminium panels are available in all of Mabani Steels 4 standard Colors. Special Colors are a more expensive option that must be specified at time of quotation. Mabani Steel Standard Panel Colors

31. LARGE AESTHETIC DOWNSPOUTS Most PEB manufacturers press brake a 406 mm wide pre-painted metal sheet to produce a 75mm x 125 mm downspout with a poorly locked flat profile. They space downspouts 12m to 15m apart. Mabani Steel rollforms 525 mm wide pre-painted metal coils to produce a 125 mm x 150 mm downspout with an architecturally aesthetic profile; and locates downspouts at each exterior column (6m 10m apart). Mabani Steel understands that when it rains, it pours; and that sizing downspouts for average rainfall intensity often results in overflows that cause leakages along the interior of building eaves, during heavy rain falls. Our gutters and downspouts are designed for worst case conditions.

Mabani Steel uses 0.9 mm thick pre-galvanized G-90 sheets and coats the interior with 100 microns of epoxy paint to give them added protection against rust. Optional PVC outlets, PVC downpipes and holding brackets at every interior column are available upon request.

30. INTERIOR PAINTED EAVE GUTTERS Most PEB Manufacturers press brake their metal eave gutters from 390 mm wide pre-painted sheets and do not paint their interior making them susceptible to rust within 1-3 years. Mabani Steel rollforms metal eave gutters from 605 mm wide pre-painted coils and shop applies an epoxy coating to the interior to prolong their functional life.

33. SUPERIOR BOLTS & FASTENERS Ultimately, the integrity of any PEB Steel Structure PEBSS is achieved by competent erectors using the proper, code-compliant bolts. The bolts required for a PEBSS include Anchor Bolts, Primary Connection Bolts and Secondary Connection Bolts. ANCHOR BOLTS Mabani Steel anchor bolts are hot dip galvanized anchor bolts in DIN 4.6 Steel (High strength Din 8.8 Steel are an option). Anchor bolts are straight shank type with a welded round plate at the bottom. L shaped anchor bolts are optional. Anchor bolts are stocked in 4 sizes (mm): 20 x450, 24 x 500, 30 x 650 and 36 x 950. PRIMARY CONNECTION BOLTS Almost all PEB manufacturers in this region design their connections on the basis of full A325 bolt connection values but often supply DIN 8.8 steel bolts that have 20% lower connection values than A325 bolts. Mabani Steel uses only fully threaded hot dip galvanized A325 connection bolts, nuts & washers exclusively for all primary structural connections. Bolts are stocked in the following 5 sizes (mm): 16 x 65, 20 x 80, 24 x 100, 30 x 120 and 36 x 140. SECONDARY CONNECTION BOLTS Most PEB manufacturers use electro plated mild steel (36 KSI)machine bolts for connections of secondary cold formed members to primary (built-up or hot rolled) members or to other secondary members. Mabani Steel uses 12 x 35 electro galvanized high strength (DIN 8.8 steel) exclusively for this application. PANEL AND FLASHING FASTENERS Mabani Steel uses only self drilling screws for connecting panels (single skin or sandwich) to secondary members. Unlike self tapping fasteners that require 2 operations (drilling a hole, then fastening a screw), self drilling screws more efficiently accomplish both tasks in one operation, avoiding oversized holes & enabling a tighter fit between the panels and the secondary members. Carbon Steel screws are used with Aluzinc Coated Steel Panels. Stainless Steel screws are used with Aluminum Panels. SKYLIGHT GROMMETS Mabani Steel uses grommets to fasten skylights to its supporting members. Grommets require a hole to be pre-drilled but provide excellent water tight conditions in skylight installations. Skylight Grommets
