UNDER PRASAD GALLA’S LEADERSHIP,
M
RGI – which was once primarily
N involved in small- and medium-
sized infrastructure contracts in
O India – has become one of the Middle
P East’s premier turnkey contracting
companies, primarily for industrial
Q projects. The company has also
R diversified away from traditional
contracting and is now involved in steel
S buildings, the electromechanical field,
firefighting and refrigeration.
T
Over the course of the last three
U years, the company has witnessed
significant expansion, and has become
V
a dominant force in the industry as
W it builds manufacturing plants, cold
storage units and distribution centres
X
across the UAE. With offices in Dubai
Y and Sharjah and another one soon to be
inaugurated in Abu Dhabi, the company
Z today employees nearly 1,000 people
for its various engineering projects and
industrial verticals.
Additionally, the company has
expanded to include six independent
clusters to handle its business interests
in the region. Aside from steel building
and civil construction in the low rise
and industrial segments, these clusters
include firefighting systems and service
specialists, industrial grade flooring
contracting, industrial refrigeration,
facilities maintenance, industrial
products, logistics and shipping.
Looking to the future, Galla has
established a “2020 vision” for the
company, with bold plans to expand
operations in Oman, Africa and the
Commonwealth of Independent States.
