Saned, a joint venture between Sharjah Asset Management Holding (SAM) and Apleona HSG, has reported a 30 per cent growth in 2018, which can be attributed to the renewal of all its contracts for the third consecutive year.
During its General Assembly and Board of Directors meetings held recently in Frankfurt, Germany, Saned also reported on the current status of its projects and initiatives, which are aligned with the company's strategy for the current year.
Both meetings were held in the presence of Walid Al Sayegh, CEO of Sharjah Asset Management Holding; Dr Gert Riegel, member of the Board of Directors of Apleona and chairman of Saned; Mohamed Bin Issa,, vice chairman of Saned; Sultan Al Ketbi, CEO; Ibrahim Al Houti, board member and Ihab Assi, executive director of Apleona in the UAE and operations director of Saned.
During the meeting, members of the board emphasised on the importance of quality projects, including the newly introduced Aman System, which links fire alarms in buildings and facilities with the Civil Defence control room of Sharjah and Salama for training in health and safety standards in partnership with the Sharjah Prevention and Safety Authority (SPSA).
The efforts serve as a cornerstone in Saned's commitment towards reinforcing the safety and security measures of the emirate, including the move to increase awareness about the best ways to prevent accidents and fires and transform Sharjah to a safe and risk-free community - falling in line with the directives of Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah.
The directors affirmed their commitment in exploring potential opportunities with strategic partners in providing integrated facilities management (FM) services, while also developing and implementing accreditation programs for professional technicians in the emirate.
Al Sayegh said: “The recently held meetings served as strategic platforms for us to showcase Saned's excellent 2018 performance, which has prompted us to remain steadfast in our move to expand our offered services to the private sector in line with our success to meet the needs of the government over the last few years.

Moreover, being an industry leader, Saned, through its offered integrated services, will work on further increasing the state of safety and security within the community.”
Al Ketbi said: "The partnership between Apleona and the Government of Sharjah, represented by Sharjah Asset Management Holding Company, has proven to be successful.
