Dubai, 13th November 2013: Intercoil International, UAE manufacturing company with a 40-year track record providing high quality polyurethane foam, sleep products and furniture, has been honored with the prestigious Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Business Award, for exceptional business performance.

As one of the top UAE based manufacturers, Intercoil’s mission is to represent and raise awareness of the superior manufacturing capability of the UAE and to promote “Made in the UAE” mark.

Receiving the award, Mr. Hassan Al-Hazeem, Managing Director of Intercoil International, said: “We are an ambitious, dynamic and progressive company, keeping abreast of the latest innovations in the industry and continuously monitoring best practice globally to maintain our leadership position. In the 40 years since Intercoil began operations, we have worked hard to build a brand with the highest quality manufacturing and one that instils trust and confidence.
