Speaking about this partnership, Pramodh Idicheria, COO, Al Shirawi Engineering Services, stated, “Our strategic partnership with MAXON Technologies enables us to strengthen our brand and create value for our stakeholders. What makes this a win-win situation for us, is that the very essence of Futureproofing is to utilise our niche expertise to improve the lifespan of buildings and thus transform UAE’s cityscape. The group’s exemplary futureproofing services and MAXON’s anti-corrosive coating together intend to form a strong bond that would help preserve the country’s built assets so that they stay as sturdy and magnificent as they are today.

Al Shirawi Contracting Company led by Sharad Bangera, Executive Director, offers a gamut of waterproofing and futureproofing services in the region. Waterproofing services include watertight solutions for complex substructures, concrete roofs, metal roofs, wet areas, expansion joints and any structure where water ingress is a concern. Futureproofing services include repair activities like concrete fixes, crack injections, floor screeding and coating; retrofits such as re-roofing and value engineering for landscaping areas. While, MAXON Technologies utilises scientific technology to permanently deal with corrosion, unlike other existing products in the market. One of the unique features of their product is that the material can penetrate into rust and ‘put corrosion to sleep’ and doesn't require any conventional surface preparation methodologies.

“MAXON Technologies is an American brand that has been harnessing scientific technologies to achieve breakthrough results in the fields of anti-corrosion and protection. Our products are used for the protection of metals, concrete and other substrates. Being water-based makes them non-hazardous and non-flammable, in addition to ending the need for sandblasting and removing existing rust before applying on a rusted surface. We are able to renew the old, protect the new and do what others cannot do. Our products are unconventional that help us deliver rapid and long-lasting solutions. We are proud to launch this range in the Middle East with Al Shirawi Group and leverage their 50 years of rich experience in the region to serve our customers better,” stated Dr. Ashish Thomas, Managing Director, MAXON Technologies, Middle-East.
