Barzan Holdings
manufactures life-saving
ventilators
“One moment I’m particularly proud of,” Saoud
Mannai, Director of Armaments, described, “is when
we packaged the first ventilator and put a sticker
on top of it saying ‘Made in Qatar’ and shipped it
abroad”. Barzan Holdings can currently produce
almost all parts of the ventilators locally in Qatar,
while the rest comes from its strategic partner, the
American company Wilcox Industries.
It’s a story of innovation, driven by an instinctive
aspiration to propel the nation’s capabilities towards
an era of self-sufficiency. For Barzan Holdings,
pioneering the defence and manufacturing industry
in Qatar extends far beyond the desire to do good
business. It’s a chance to support social development,
domestic production and international commerce for
years to come.
