Brands, manufacturers, traders and suppliers

Four ways we work with brands

We are not tied to one brand. We work with local, regional and international brands, manufacturers, traders and suppliers, choosing for each project what fits the site, the budget and the buyer.

01 · CASE BY CASE

Supply for each order

We source from the brand, manufacturer, trader or supplier that best fits the order, and sell it as part of one +VEX system.

02 · CHANNEL PARTNER OR AGENT

Appointed by the brand

Where a brand appoints us, Ayaat acts as its channel partner or agent for the markets we serve.

03 · BUILD

Built for +VEX

Systems made or assembled to our specification by qualified manufacturers, and supplied as +VEX.

04 · BUYER'S CHOICE

The brand you name

If you prefer a brand or supplier, we source it, combine it with the rest of the system and deliver it as one product.

Ayaat, Dubai=Local partner

Big brands: the same appointment, at both ends. For major brands, Ayaat holds the appointment from Dubai, and our local partner in each country holds the same role locally, so the buyer gets the brand's full warranty and support where the system is installed.

Questions

Is Ayaat Al Baraka a bank or a lender?

No. We are a project management, commercial brokerage and trading house. We do not lend, take deposits, manage funds or confirm letters of credit. Any financing is provided by independent licensed banks and financial institutions under their own approvals.

Does Ayaat build or erect Steel-X buildings itself?

No. Ayaat Meydan sells each building as one complete product. It is designed, manufactured and fabricated by contract designers, manufacturers and fabricators licensed in the UAE, the region or the country served, and erected by certified local builders under Ayaat's project management. Warranty and maintenance follow the manufacturer's terms; Ayaat does not carry out repairs.

Who sells fertilisers, energy and petroleum products?

Licensed and experienced trading houses in Ayaat's pool. Ayaat sources the right house, brokers the deal and advises the buyer. All other commodities are supplied by Ayaat in its own name; a licensed trading house may join a deal case by case. We also deal with suppliers chosen by the buyer.

How do you work outside the UAE?

Our head office is in Dubai. In each country we work with specific local partners: licensed designers, manufacturers, fabricators, builders, installers, EPC contractors, agents and channel partners, so the work is approved and delivered by people licensed there.

How do I get a commodity offer?

Send an enquiry with product, grade, quantity, packing, destination port and delivery window. Prices and offers are shared with registered clients.

Which countries do you serve?

The UAE locally; the GCC and South Asia regionally, including Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and the Maldives; and selected markets in Africa.
