Nine companies merge to create SARKCO Group

SARKCO Group, a new corporate business house formed by amalgamating nine individual entities, said it is entering the market under the stewardship of Chairman Shaikh Salman ben Ali Al Khalifa.

The move, SARKCO Group said, was aimed at bringing together the companies that have been operating as individual entities for several years to enhance their business portfolio as a single entity.

This will create “a synergy in purpose and vision that will bring benefits to each of the companies while supporting the Bahrain Economic Vision 2030,” the company statement said.

Speaking on the occasion, Shaikh Salman ben Ali Al Khalifa, Chairman of SARKCO Group said, “The Kingdom of Bahrain’s competitive economy and hospitable environment have bolstered its position as a business and investment destination within the region. We are excited to be part of this positive ambience, contributing our services and specializations to the nation’s advanced business infrastructure.”

Shaikh Salman said that the Kingdom continues to play a vital role in creating opportunities, promoting an investment-driven economic development in line with the principles of the Economic Vision 2030. “We share the same values, to put the country and the people of Bahrain at the heart of everything we do.”
