With 12,000 staff in 60 countries, the group’s influence in construction supply has been far reaching. The diverse operation spans air-conditioning manufacturing to architectural glass processing, plastics to steel fabrication and paints and cranes to heavy process equipment.

The top Dubai-based company on the list is Ducab, in third place.
