NSA Architects, Engineers, Planners and PAT Engineering visit Qatar to explore international busines

Two Michigan companies and one Italian business met in Doha, Qatar, on a trade business to build mutual business in the economic hot spots of the Middle East.

[USPRwire, Tue Oct 26 2010] Representatives of NSA Architects, Engineers, Planners, an architectural/engineering firm in Farmington Hills, Mich., and PAT Engineering Enterprises USA in Madison Heights have returned from a trip to Doha, Qatar.

Traveling on the trip were Frank Ray, President and CEO of NSA, and Angelo Torcolacci, NSA’s Director of Business Development, and Rick Weaver, Vice President for PAT USA were accompanied by Ugo Galli of SGI, a water, environmental, energy, urban planning, civil engineering, and transport consultancy in Italy. They were hosted by Shrawan Tiwari, Executive Director of PAT Engineering Enterprises WLL in Doha, Qatar. Pat, NSA, and SGI recently completed their first collaboration project at the U.S. Embassy, Doha, Qatar.

During the trip they met with several companies where potential future business together is a possibility. These companies included Keo, Protec, MZ & Partners, Technital, TDC Partners, and the United States Embassy.

Qatar is a thriving global “hot spot” where mega-developments are underway. PAT USA is working to identify companies whose products and services can help with the rapid Qatari growth.

“Qatar is a tremendous opportunity for North American companies weathering the US recession,” said Weaver. “It is hard to believe how the country is growing and the chance it affords businesses to build their sales.”
“Forming partnerships and working with Qatari companies is definitely a strategy to be seriously considered,” said Ray as he met with business executives in Doha.

PAT USA is looking to put together additional “trade missions” that are focused on selling North American products and services in the Middle East and India.

“Many of these economies are rapidly growing with positive cash-flow or completely debt-free,” adds Weaver.

Weaver says PAT is continually seeking anyone with security, green energy, technology, or construction-related services where partnerships, joint ventures, and trade agreements would help create jobs on both sides of the ocean.
