First construction show in Kuwait with 260 exhibitors: small but promising.
From 16th to 18th of September ECOTHERM exhibited at the first Big 5 exhibition in Kuwait. The Austrian specialist for individual solar, hot water and steam systems presented its products and solutions for hotels, hospitals and industry together with around 260 exhibitors. “The first Big 5 in Kuwait was a quite small but promising fair. Since we have been active in this market for many years, we could use the Big 5 to inform existing contacts about our innovations,” Herbert B. Bremstaller, founder and CEO of ECOTHERM Austria GmbH, sums up. In early 2011, ECOTHERM WLL Kuwait was founded by a franchise partner. The so far largest project in Kuwait is a turnkey hot water and steam system for the Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah Hospital in Kuwait – with 1,100 beds, the largest general hospital in Kuwait, and the largest hospital in the world as one single structure building.
