Oman Air has named Al Obaidani International LLC as its official supplier of uniforms following a rigorous tender process. The agreement for the supply of uniforms was signed at a ceremony in Muscat recently. In the same ceremony the new Uniform Distribution Centre was opened.
Al Obaidani International was founded in 2002 and has since become a leading supplier of uniforms for official government entities in Oman and supplier of uniform related items and accessories to airlines within the region. The Muscat-based company is 100 per cent Omani-owned and is a subsidiary of the Al Obaidani Group, the textiles and tailoring business which was established in the 1960s.
This new facility will help to ensure easy accessibility and distribution of uniforms to its flying and ground staff. The new facility will help to ensure that the uniforms will continue to reflect the high standards set by the company.
Dr. Abdulrazaq AlRaisi, Executive Vice President Corporate Services and Business Development and the Chairman of the Uniform Committee for Oman Air, commented:
"Oman Air is pleased to appoint Al Obaidani International as its official supplier of uniforms. The company has an outstanding record, shares Oman Air's unwavering commitment to quality and operates using state of the art equipment and fully integrated manufacturing units.
"Further, we are proud to be supporting a leading Omani company which is establishing a growing reputation on the international stage. This builds on Oman Air's long-standing practice of supporting Omani businesses and entrepreneurs, and the wider Omani community, at all times. Indeed, Oman Air has contracted with a range of Omani SMEs and played a major role in the recent Oman SME Summit, which was held in Muscat.
"We are also pleased to announce the opening of our new uniform distribution centre at our Muscat headquarters. This will not only help us to maintain the smart and stylish image for which our staff are renowned, but will also increase the speed and efficiency with which our uniforms are issued.
"As Oman Air continues its current programme of major expansion and takes on more staff, we are issuing growing numbers of flight crew and cabin crew uniforms. We look forward to the centre delivering a highly effective new service, and to developing a strong partnership with Al Obaidani International."
Jamal Al Obaidani, Chief Executive Officer of Al Obaidani International LLC, added:
"As an Omani business, we are immensely proud to have been named as the official supplier of uniforms to our national airline, Oman Air. Our long experience, both in Oman and internationally, and our total commitment to the highest quality standards will ensure that our service supports Oman Air in its continued growth and success.
"On behalf of our Managing Director, Rahila Al Busaidi, and all our staff, we look forward to a long and fruitful partnership."
