Well-known Omani ceramics manufacturer Al Maha Ceramics Company SAOG has announced in a filing to the Capital Market Authority (CMA) that it has signed a Sales & Purchase Agreement (SPA) to acquire 45 per cent of Al Hael Ceramics Company LLC — one of the largest companies of its kind in the Middle East.
Under the deal, Al Maha Ceramics will manage and operate Al Hael’s ceramics plant for a term of five years. Additionally, Al Maha will use its brand for Al Hael products during this period.
The production capacity of Al Hael’s factory is 55 thousand square metres per day of ceramics and porcelain tiles.
