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.
