Alia has established a stall at the Build Expo 2026 to showcase its diverse product range and provide information regarding its various services.

The Build Expo 2026 commenced yesterday at Hulhumalé Central Park and will run through Sunday.

According to Alia, the expo—which brings together numerous industry professionals and companies—offers visitors the chance to explore essential supplies from both Alia Store and Alia Sawmill.

A primary highlight of Alia’s exhibit this year is the Total Tools brand, which is rapidly gaining popularity in the Maldives. Alia serves as the authorized distributor for Total Tools in the country.

The Total Tools brand has earned a reputation among construction professionals and general customers alike for being an affordable yet high-quality brand that meets both professional and everyday needs.

In addition, Alia Sawmill is displaying a selection of premium timber products at the expo. One of Alia's core objectives remains the consistent supply of sustainable and durable timber for both large-scale infrastructure projects and private residential developments.

Alia stated that the expo provides an excellent opportunity for customers to gain detailed information on timber varieties and receive expert guidance on selecting the most suitable materials for their specific requirements.

The company reaffirmed its commitment to customer satisfaction and maintaining high service standards, particularly in the provision of quality machinery, electrical equipment, and various construction tools.

With over 60 years of service in the Maldivian market, Alia began as a small timber and hardware business. Since then, the company has evolved into a key player in the development of the nation's construction industry.

Build Expo 2026 is open to the public daily from 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm. Visitors to the Alia stall can experience new products firsthand and stay informed about the latest advancements and resources available in the construction sector.
