Chairman Message
Mr. Nabil Al Zahlawi began his crane career in the 1970s–80s, working with Potain agents in Syria, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia before founding NFT in the UAE in the early 1990s with 24 tower cranes and securing Potain’s first GCC dealership. NFT rapidly expanded across Saudi Arabia and the UAE, pioneering the tower crane rental model and partnering with major contractors. Between 2008–2014, NFT placed Potain’s largest-ever order (500 cranes), introduced Buy-Back and Lease-to-Own models, and expanded into Asia and Europe. In 2024, NFT became Potain’s dealer in Hong Kong, expanding its reach into Asia. Today, NFT is the number one dealer for Potain worldwide and continues to solidify its leadership with new yards, strategic partnerships, and acquisitions around the world.
