Resilient by nature
“The priority lies in building our own capabilities as
a ‘Made in Qatar’ brand that aligns with national
economic aspirations, including new opportunities
for manufacturing. We work with international
partners and companies to achieve this goal and
move closer to self-sufficient production, ”Ahmed
Rashed Al-Moosafri Director of Investments at Barzan
Holdings, says.
Barzan Holdings’ ventilators are doing more than
saving lives, they’re also helping the company invest
in Qatar’s domestic workforce. Barzan Holdings has
opened its doors to young Qatari military cadets
and students who want to learn the ins and outs of
the manufacturing process. “Self-sufficiency cannot
happen without internal growth. We believe that
developing the local knowledge-based economy is
part of our contribution towards a lasting legacy for
Qataris,” Al Mannai says.
Barzan Holdings describes the ventilator project as
one of its most strategic ventures because of the
experience and expertise gained from it. “We aim to
be in a position where we can develop and design
in-house solutions that address key issues, without
relying upon the expertise of external parties.” Barzan
Holdings’ ventilators have not only saved lives but
have also ensured the livelihoods of Qataris in the
years to come.
