CELEBRANTS OF THE MONTH EDITOR’S NOTE It is quite common to hear people say: "Think positive!", to someone who feels down and worried. Not everyone accepts or believes in positive thinking. All of us affect, in one way or another, the people we meet. People around us sense our aura and are affected by our thoughts, and vice versa. It is generally observed that people are more disposed to help us if we are positive. Positive thinking is a mental attitude that admits into the mind thoughts, words and images that are conductive to growth, expansion and success. It is a mental attitude that expects good and favorable results. Thus a positive mind anticipates happiness, joy, health and a successful outcome of every situation and action. Wish you all a very happy and prosperous year ahead. - Rekha Dayalal, AE
3 MESSAGE FROM MANSOUR AL ALAMI MANAGING DIRECTOR Year 2011 seems to be promising in terms of sealing strategic alliances, major project signups and growth in general for companies under the umbrella of AlBawardi Enterprises. The challenges we face due to rippling effects of 2009 global and regional recession are very much in existence. However with UAE markets reacting positively and government initiating new projects, especially in the Energy, Education and Infrastructure Sector brings us closer to normalcy. All Business Units in the group have embraced to the challenge of meeting and or exceeding business objectives as chalked out in June 2009. Next six months will be equally difficult but rewarding in terms of meeting these objectives Last three months have been exciting at many fronts. Let me share one of the success stories: on 9th February 2010, Emdad acquired 75% shares of Litwin PEL LLC, an investment carefully selected and backed with full confidence that we will add value and get returns in short span of time. Emdad Management played an important role in adding value in next few months and strategizing company future plans to position the company to attract investors. In first week of December 2010 we have inked the sale agreement with MIS (Maritime Industrial Services) not only providing liquidity for future growth and projects of Emdad but the experience gained has positioned Emdad in the Mergers and Acquisition market. On a strategic front Emdad has secured second phase of the Cathodic Protection (CP) project and is well into execution of the project. The maintenance contract related to Cathodic Protection is also progressing well as planned. Emjel (a joint venture between Emdad and Sanjel) is equally making strides with operational activities with the 4th Unit coming under deployment soon. Emdad was well received during ADIPEC and was successfully represented by a record number of Principals. EMDAD with TMK, has secured a major contract for the supply of OCTG casing and tubing pipes to fulfil the requirements of 2010 - 2011 operations. EMDAD has added yet another feather to its cap with the signing of its new alliance with China Petroleum Jilin Chemical Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd. Emdad ADIPEC stand won second place as best exhibitor. ASPGulf in the quest to prove its value add and commitment to quality is applying for Dubai Quality Award (DQA) this year. The management and core team have submitted comprehensive self analysis document to DQA secretariat and await audit in Feb 2011. We are confident that they will prove themselves versus the world recognized DQA benchmarks. ITQAN continued to sail and marking its presence with a wider radius and more products and services. ITQAN was thrilled to celebrate its silver jubilee with GITEX’s 30 years’ anniversary by participating in the event. In October 2010, ITQAN participated in The 7th Annual Middle East Human Resources Summit to showcase its talent development solutions, commissioned by its partner SumTotal Systems, the global leader in providing learning and performance management solutions. gi is evolving and slowly gathering momentum in offering services related to Event Management. With recent projects such as ADIPEC, GITEX and IDEX it is building its specialization in this field. It will be incomplete if we do not mention the value addition Furnicon is bringing to AE Group. With major projects executed in record time it is one of the best examples of optimized productivity within the AE Group. Let me take this opportunity to wish you all Happy New Year and hope that all will work as one cohesive team in achieving AE common goals and objectives. The above is a glimpse of current business and its development, it is worth mentioning that there are number of initiatives in the pipeline at AE level whereby further diversification with high yield projects are in the making. Let me finish my message with the following quote: "Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be.” – Jim Rohn
