Dubai group inks partnership deal with Centria

UAE-based AK Cladding has inked a deal with Centria, a leader in the design and manufacture of architectural metal wall and roof systems, to produce a key roofing product at its factory in Dubai.

As per the agreement, Centria and its team of trained experts will provide technical and sales support to the Emirati firm, as well as supply any necessary accessories.

"Together, Centria and AK Cladding are extending the reach of the successful SRS roofing profiles to new project opportunities and new horizons," explained Adrian Jones, the regional sales manager for Centria (Middle East/India). "We could not be more thrilled with the dedication and investment that AK Cladding has put into this partnership," he stated.

Centria will offer its SRS 65 and SRS 3 structural standing seam roofing profiles to a new marketplace spanning the Middle East to the UK, he added.  

The SRS 65 structural standing seam roofing profile features a unique sliding clip system that facilitates ease of installation with minimal supervision and experience.

This summer, Centria supplied AK Cladding with a roll-former to produce the popular roofing product in either galvanized steel or aluminum substrates. The state-of-the-art machinery can be located on-site or at AK Claddings’ DIP zone factory in Dubai.

Keith Evans, the owner and managing director of AK Cladding, said: "The agreement with Centria enables us to offer two options of an extensively tested and certified system, including FM certification."

"This enables full service to the construction market for the complete system design, manufacture and installation of a globally recognized standing seam roofing system. Centria’s SRS65 and SRS3 profiles have been used extensively in the US, Asia and Middle East," he added.
