Making Workplaces Work Better

Gemaco Interiors, a company committed to innovative yet practical solutions, is renowned for producing high quality, creative and sustainable design that is consistently within the constraints of budget, programme and deadline.
Passionate About Interior Design
One only has to look around the UAE to see some of the most futuristic designs of high-rise towers available anywhere in the world. However, the design of the exterior is only part of the story, for if the building is to achieve what was in the mind of the person with the original concept, then the style, quality, finishes and effect of the interior must be to an equally high standard.

Managing the Needs of the Construction Industry

From small beginnings in 2003, by 2005 the opportunity had arisen for a major change in operations and today, the company is one of the fastest growing contractors in this sector with strategic knowledge and expertise-sharing partnerships with a number of international companies that are leaders in handling mega-projects.

50 Golden Years of Success for Overseas AST in The UAE
In 1959, Overseas AST took what appeared at the time to be a bold step in moving to Dubai for, at this time, oil production had still to begin and the formation of the UAE was more than a decade away. However, the company, at that time the subsidiary of an Austrian firm, was well versed in construction work on major projects in the Region, for it had already completed a number of projects in neighbouring Kuwait. The move to Dubai was prompted by the opportunity to work on Dubai Harbour improvements, followed by extension works for the Ruler of Dubai in 1959. Just five years after setting up operations in Dubai, the Company was incorporated by a Ruler’s Decree. Then, in 1983, two prominent UAE businessmen, Khalifa Juma Al Nabooda of Dubai and Abdulla Mohammed Al Mazrui of Abu Dhabi, acquired a 51% stake in the Company and bought the remainder of the shareholding in 2003.
