SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / April 9, 2024 / Quality Industrial Corp. (OTC PINK:QIND), is a Manufacturer and Service Provider for the Industrial, Oil & Gas and Utility sectors. The company recently acquired a 51% interest in the United Arab Emirates headquartered, Al Shola Al Modea Gas Distribution LLC (Al Shola Gas) and is focused on the integration and expansion of the completed new acquisition.
On March 27, 2024, QIND signed a definitive Stock Purchase Agreement with the shareholders of Al Shola Gas to acquire a 51% interest in the company with an option to buy the remaining 49% within 2 years. The closing of the transaction took place when both parties signed the definitive agreement.

Established in 1980, Al Shola Gas is a United Arab Emirates headquartered, Engineering and Distribution company operating in the Gas sector. The company is one of the region's leading contractors of centralized gas pipeline systems, distributor of LPG cylinders, and supplier of bulk gas to commercial, residential and industrial facilities. Al Shola Gas currently employs 93 personnel and operates a fleet of over 50 trucks which service the company's nearly 10,000 active residential gas supply contracts and 570 commercial supply contracts. With QIND, the company is already targeting several lucrative central gas pipeline engineering and supply contracts in the Middle East and Africa while simultaneously adding further LPG bobtail trucks to its fleet, with each additional truck increasing the company's bulk supply of gas which is in high demand from customers in the region. Al Shola Gas delivered nearly $11 million and $1.8 million in 2023 revenue and net income respectively, with approximately $600,000 in bank borrowings on its balance sheet.
