KI's Sustainable Products

In addition to BREEAM certification, more facility managers and global architects seek LEED certification, they need environmentally friendly products that can help them achieve it. KI is continuing to design furniture that encompasses customers' needs for products that are safe, aesthetically pleasing, affordable, and help earn points toward LEED certification for the building as a whole.

LEED is a voluntary, consensus-based standard for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings. Originating in the United States this standard is now being widely adopted in the UK and globally by leading architectural practices. GREENGUARD certified furniture earns points toward projects receiving certification under the LEED for Commercial Interiors and LEED for Schools.

Most of KI's portfolio of products are GREENGUARD certified. Many have been installed at LEED and BREEAM accredited buildings in the UK, Europe and the Middle East. Visit KI's website at www.KI.com/europe

KI AT THE OFFICE EXHIBITION, DUBAI

KI are growing rapidly in the Middle East and are showing many products at The Office Exhibition in Dubai in March. Amongst the products being shown are 700 Series, Wireworks workstation, Grand Salon Sofas and chairs, Perry chairs, KI 900 Series/Smart Touch and Impress Ultra and Engage task seating.

KI has several major office projects currently underway with long-term partner Furnicon Royal Interiors for ADMA-OPCO, Etisalat and Mubadala in the U.A.E. These prestigious projects have strengthened KI's position in the U.A.E during 2008. In addition major Healthcare and Education projects across the Middle East as a whole, over the last few months, endorse KI's core strengths, in all these sectors and across the whole region.

Jonathan M. Hindle - Managing Director, E.M.E.A. for KI comments:

"These prestigious business sector projects in the U.A.E along with numerous projects across the rest of the Middle East in the Business, Education and Healthcare sectors in 2008, have greatly boosted KI's presence. These are supported by KI's International operations and factories across the U.S.A., Europe and Asia. The recent appointment of Steve Vellozzo as our Regional Manager for the Middle East and a strong pipeline going into 2009 will support our plans for further significant growth in the region."

KI has its regional Headquarters in Bahrain and representative partners in the U.A.E., Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt.

Most of the products that KI are showing carry GREENGUARD Certification and all carry LEED Certification. As more facility managers seek LEED certification, they need environmentally friendly products that can help them achieve it. KI is continuing to design furniture that encompasses customers' needs for products that are safe, aesthetically pleasing, affordable, and help earn points toward LEED certification.
