Due to the success of its products, the company has remarkably succeeded in its international development. It exports more than 20% of its production towards thirty-some countries, notably France, West Africa, the Maghreb and the Gulf countries.
Besides ceramics, the Group holds also a specialized company for research and production of equipments for brick making, such as the Maghreb Industrie and FMA.
With its expertise, the group is able to export this know-how to neighboring countries. In fact, two companies have already been created for that purpose. Sahel Lebda in Libya, and Ideal Ceramic in Algeria are examples. The Poulina Group is in the front line, and its Algerian and Libyan subsidiaries show a potential for an important growth, especially that Sahel Lebda is the sole local ceramic producer. |
