Standox granted premier award from the Emirate of Dubai

April 23, 2009 - PRLog -- Standox and the Arabian Automobiles Company has been granted a very special award in the Emirate of Dubai: His Highness, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, graciously assented to present the “Dubai Award for Sustainable Transport” to Arabian Automobiles in recognition of their use of the Standohyd waterborne paint system.
 
The award highlights the pioneering role played by Arabian Automobiles. Thanks to the efforts of Polimar, the successful Standox distributor for the area which gave first-class installation, training, and technical support for Standox waterborne paints, Arabian Automobiles is the first in the United Arab Emirates to meet the world’s strictest environmental standards as stipulated, for example, under European environmental legislation. Arabian Automobiles is not only one of the biggest car dealers in the Gulf region, but also the exclusive sales partner of Nissan, Infiniti and Renault in Dubai and the Northern Emirates. In addition to the excellent environmental performance of Standohyd, Michel Ayat, CEO of the company, underlines the good properties of the product: “Standohyd (http://standox.com/standohyd) provides for the excellent finish our customers love. The cooperation with Standox and Polimar gives  us the chance to further improve our reputation and expand our leading market position in the region.”

The Emirate of Dubai is one of the world's fastest growing regions despite the current global economic situation. This is reflected in the vibrant economy and the dramatic, modern skyline of the Emirate, built in little more than 30 years. Truly this makes the Emirate the “Manhatten of the 21st century”. The sustainable development of transport and construction is a key concern for the Al Maktoum ruling family and their government, as they carefully guide the sheikhdom in its successful future development.
