Qatar’s Oriental Trading Company has signed an agreement with Sweden-based Husqvarna Construction in order to distribute the surface preparation product portfolio in the country.
Under the agreement, Oriental Trading will act as an exclusive authorized distributor in Qatar for its surface preparation products such as advanced shot-blasting, scraping, shaving and scarifying solutions.
The company further stated that the newly acquired Blastrac and Diamatic is now rebranded as Husqvarna.
According to the statement, “With the acquisition of Blastrac by Husqvarna Construction, customers and partners in the region will now have access to a complete portfolio of modern tools and equipments including surface preparation products.”
The complete range of surface preparation products include floor scrapers, shavers, scarifiers and floor grinders. These tools can help construction and design professionals to ensure a quality final coating can be applied and a flat even surface is achieved at places such as car parks or warehouses, the company added.
