Despite the current global financial downturn, the direct workforce remains intact. In fact, more privileges have been provided to compensate for the global inflation. GARMCO gives local suppliers of business equivalent of $xxxm every year, which also indirectly helps in offering jobs to Bahrainis. Despite the current global financial cries where many rolling mills are getting closed, GARMCO is enjoying a high order book, where it can not meet the demand. Plans are underway for further capacity increases and more subsidiaries. With more than 20 international subsidiaries, GARMCO can better deal with demand behavior changes or crises. For example, during the 1995 and 1997 economic crises & the SARs epidemic that struck the Far East regions, GARMCO successfully managed the impact by transferring the metal allocated to the Far East to other unaffected or less affected regions. Similarly, GARMCO has drastically reduced the impact of the current financial downturn A high portion of products currently allocated to the most affected regions such as USA and Europe have been reallocated to the Far East and Middle East. Unlike other competitors, GARMCO is still producing and selling metal up 80% of its full capacity. Significant efforts and investments have been devoted towards the environments. Hundreds of tones of carbons are saved every year by establishing international subsidiaries and information technologies to reduce staff travels. Considerable investments are made in R&D in order to use practices and materials that reduce the global warming and toxics. The continues process improvements, R&D, global presence, machine upgrades, increased utilization of stat of art of various technologies, etc have led to improved product quality, increased demands and lower costs. GARMCO Global presence, professional business conduct, R&D facilities and the utilization of stat of art information technologies have led to a major decision for diversification. GARMCO does not manufacture and sells aluminium rolled products only. Through its more than 20 subsidiaries, it can market and sell products of other manufactures (domestic, regional and international).

The global presence of GARMCO throughout the glob, has given GARMCO many advantages.

Suppliers and customers proudly referring to GARMCO in their literatures as partner in order to improve their business opportunities. The quality of GARMCO products and services, and the establishment of the overseas subsidiaries have significantly contributed towards the promotion of the GARMCO brand.
