68 August 2012 BTM India In Bahrain indiaindependence BRAMCO GROUP A Link Set in Stone One Bahraini company has forged a strong, and long-standing trade tie with India ensuring both countries have improved employment and business. The story of Bramco, one of the largest and most professional mining, earth-moving and industrial supplies companies headquartered in Bahrain, is closely intertwined with the narrative of Bahrain’s progress. Established in 1977, Bramco played a major role in the building of the King Fahad Causeway between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. It has since steadily expanded its business portfolio to include mining, natural stone sourcing and design, design and installation of glass reinforced concrete, shipping and scrap metal and aluminium downstream business among others. The company’s list of prestigious projects and innovations is long and is remarkable for the way in which it has raised the bar for Indian firms in Bahrain. “I’m very proud of how Bramco has written a new chapter in Indo-Bahraini corporate relations,” says chairman and managing director, Vinay Dewan. “We were pioneers in the regional mining and quarrying sector and I think Bramco added heft to Indo-Bahraini economic relations because of our manufacturing and industrial sector involvement,” he continues. Dewan sees Bramco not just as a Bahrain-based company but as a catalyst in the very important management of technology transfer between Bahrain and India and other countries as well. The company employs nearly 1,200 workers in Bahrain and about 3,000 around the world. The company’s projects include stonework design and installation for the flooring, the lifts and lobby areas of the showpiece Terminal 3 of New Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport and the exterior finish of the super-luxurious Leela Hotel in Delhi and Chennai.
