Our events team’s busiest-ever year started in February with a ‘night to remember’ for 170 customers at the Palm’s Anantara Hotel – recognition for their ongoing support. Then there was the first-ever Gyproc Middle East Trophy, culminating in our big presentation evening in September, sponsorship and support around Worldskills in October and, to round off the year, a special 1st Anniversary presentation to Filipino architects in Oman - to name but a few!
We would like to thank all the attendees for making the first ever Gyproc Middle East Trophy event a grand success! Congratulations to all the winners!
The stand-out campaign for 2017 was undoubtedly the launch of new Gyproc Habito – our new high strength, easy-fix plasterboard. With our special climbing wall and floating chair displays, it made big news everywhere we went. But behind the scenes, we were also busy launching our new lighter, moisture-resistant MR H2 board specially engineered for EN standard projects – and publishing the new datasheet for our high performance Gypframe metal range.
The Gyproc® stand at THE BIG 5 2018 heralded a new era for plasterboard linings with three major displays showing how ground-breaking new lining technology is already changing the way that buildings are planned and constructed throughout the Middle East.
Dubai Civil Defence has extended its approvals to include Gyproc ShaftWall and MF Ceilings. The latest approval comes on top of similar approvals for Gyproc CLASSIC and Twin Frame systems which were received many years ago. This means that all of the systems have now been independently fire-tested to local and international standards and can be used for fire rated applications in all building types throughout Dubai.
Few weeks ago, over 100 leaders from 13 businesses in UAE attended the road show where our CEO Paul Button shared positive mid-year results. The attendees participated in interesting workshops on Transform & Grow to build the future of Saint-Gobain together!
The Ultimate impact resistant corner, Habito® Flex 83, provides a perfect corner by fitting every angle, every time. Applied with Gyproc® Jointing Compound, it has a uniform, strong, structural bond thanks to its paper backing. Faced with a tight fibered, high quality paperboard and backed with a joint paper tape, it’s ideal for applying paint or texture to.
