Strategic Alliances
Pernix Group believes that strategic alliances are a better way to expand our depth and augment our resources without significantly increasing costs and overheads. This approach has proven effective in providing our clients with the essential synergies that produce greater efficiencies, lowered costs and increased value.
One key strategic partner has been Sayed Hamid Behbehani & Sons (SHBC). SHBC is a premier, fully integrated general contractor based in Kuwait. SHBC and its group of companies employ more than 5,000 professionals and are owned by one of the most prominent merchant families in Kuwait. SHBC brings a wealth of resources to Pernix and continues to support our projects with both manpower and investment when required. Our Joint Venture with SHBC was awarded the project to build a new US Embassy in Suva, Fiji in 2007. The SHBC Family of Companies includes Al Ahleia Switchgear Co, a leading manufacturer of switchgear, transformers and packaged substations, as well as a mechanical division that specializes in hydraulics, hard chroming and steel fabrication.
