A prosperous business relationship starts under the patronage of the Austrian President Dr. Heinz Fischer and H.E. Sheik Khalifa Al Thani

One year ago, the Austrian President Dr. Heinz Fischer welcomed H.H. Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the Emir of Qatar, in Vienna to discuss the growing importance of Qatar in the Austrian commercial relation with the Middle East. Since then, promising relationships have been established and business is flourishing. 

On that basis, the Austrian company DELTA BLOC International GmbH has monitored and analyzed this market in the field of infrastructure which has shown great potential for premium traffic safety products. Over the next five to seven years, an incredible amount of more than EUR 20 bn is going to be invested in building and infrastructure in Qatar. Ashghal, the Public Works Authority, is responsible for the delivery and management of the ambitious projects. 

"Under the first strategic theme of outsourcing and delivery, Ashghal will deliver and manage in 2016 world-class sustainable buildings and infrastructure through outsourcing and partnership with the world’s best.” said Mark Ranford, Corporate Planning Section of Ashghal.

To fulfill this demanding mission, the semi-governmental company q.mobility was established as one of the first in the region dedicated to infrastructure solutions for Qatar as well as for the entire Middle East. Providing services for more efficient, safer and more environment-friendly public systems, q.mobility was regarded strategically to be the right partner for DELTA BLOC International. 

Being the leading developer of premium precast vehicle restraint systems world-wide, DELTA BLOC International will contribute with a unique range of products for highways, bridges and for work zone protection to enhance road safety in the Middle East. 

In the course of the grand opening of the Austrian Embassy in Doha on 12 December 2011, the new business cooperation between q.mobility and DELTA BLOC International was officially announced. Director Ahmad Al Sahouti representing H.E. Sheik Alhussain Al Thani and Dr. Thomas Edl, Managing Director of DELTA BLOC International, were signing the agreement. Among the first congratulators were the Austrian President Dr. Heinz Fischer and H.E. Sheik Khalifa Al Thani.
