Reliability Through Change

As supply chains throughout the Middle East continue to face disruption, shipping challenges across key trade routes are placing added pressure on project timelines and material availability. Despite these conditions, GMA has continued to ensure a reliable supply of garnet across the region, leveraging its global logistics network and working closely with customers to fulfil their project demands.

“With stock arriving via the west coast of Saudi Arabia, we’re able to keep supply moving and support ongoing project demand across the Middle East,” said Soni John, General Manager for GMA Middle East and Garnet Arabia Company (GAC).

Alongside supply continuity, GMA continues to support customers through solution-based approaches and a range of engineered products suited to demanding operating conditions, including Engineered Arabian Steel, ToughBlast™ and Arabian Garnet grades.

Ajay Thanki, Regional Business Development Manager, GMA Middle East, said close collaboration with customers has become increasingly important in navigating current conditions.

“In times like these, it’s about working differently with our customers. We’re looking beyond standard supply—whether through technical guidance without compromising existing project specifications or helping customers get more from materials already on site. It’s a collaborative effort to keep projects progressing,” he said.

While conditions across the region remain complex, GMA’s focus remains clear: maintain supply continuity, ensure consistent quality and support customers as projects progress.
