Khimji Ramdas organized a seminar with "ROCA", Spain, the leading sanitary ware manufacturer In Europe, at the Gulf of Oman Conference Hall at the Al Bustan Palalce Hotel on Dec 12, 200.

ROCA, the undisputed market leader in sanitary ware was founded in the year 1917. It manufactures and markets everything required in the bath room, right from Vitreous China, Mixers, Accessories, Whirlpool bath, Sauna, Ceramic Tiles etc. It has production facilities in 16 countries, employs over 1,000 people and operates in more than 100 countries, with an annual turn over of Euro 1.60 Billion. Roca enjoys the No.1 status in the market place in Europe and in several other countries of the world and is also believed to be the leader at the second place for the whole world.

Their exclusive Distributor for Oman, M/s. Khimji Ramdas LLC organized a seminar at Al Bustan Palace Hotel on 12th Dec 200. The Seminar was attended by officials from various Ministries, Consulting Companies, Architects and Contracting Companies.

Mr. N.S. Vijaya Kumar, General Manager, Infrastructure Group, Khimji Ramdas welcomed the Invitees who were numbering over 20. In his inaugural address, he pointed out as to how Roca, which is at the cutting edge of design and technology for products needed in the bathrooms, is bringing in latest to Oman through Khimji Ramdas. The KR Building Materials Division is playing a dominant role in bringing in world renowned and affordable brands for its valued customers in Oman.

Mr. Victor Schoone, Export Manager, Middle East, Roca in his presentation covered in great detail the various ranges of Roca products, their technical features, testing procedures, guarantee standards etc. He announced the launch of new designer range of models such as the ELEMENT series, designed by David Chipperfield as well as the FRONTALIS series, designed by Rafael Moneo.

Talking about the company, Mr Victor Schoone explained that Roca had invested significantly in research and development and customer studies. It was a result of these efforts that the new lines introduced were not only catering to ever-evolving aesthetic aspirations of the customers, but also incorporating 'need of the hour' water conservation measures. He thanked Khimji Ramdas for the aggressive strategy adopted by them in making Roca one of the most widely accepted brands in the Project, Retail and Villa segments.

Mr. Victor also pointed out that Sanitary ware has turned out to be a fashion statement with most of the up market clients and it is only a matter of time when style and glamour in the bathrooms would be sought after by customers at all levels.

The programme concluded with a vote of thanks proposed by Mr M G Chegappa, Divisional Manager, Building Materials, Khimji Ramdas who promised the august gathering that KR would continue in their quest to bring more of such educative presentations to keep them abreast of the latest changes in technology and design in these fields.

The RAZR, MOTOROLA’S half-inch-thick, ultralight cell phone, broke a few rules in the industry when it appeared late last year. It’s impossibly compact, simple to operate, and elegant, with an artfully hidden antenna and impressive photographic capabilities. The phone marked a sleek detour from the drive toward bulky features, such as powerful storage device and high-power cameras, that were fattening up phones and preoccupying rival cell-phone makers. No wonder the Razr has sold a breathtaking 12. million units in less than a year.

But Motorola also had to break some internal rules to get the Razr to market. The biggest: Much of the critical work on the phone was done at a downtown Chicago innovation lab known as Moto City – rather than solely in the company’s sprawling traditional research and development facility in suburban Libertyville, Ill. Decorated in a trendy palette of oranges and grays, Moto City fills the 26th floor of a high-rise once occupied by a dot-com.

To hustle the phone into production, Motorola engineers left their cubicles in Libertyville to team up with designers and marketers 80 kilometers to the southeast in Moto City. With its open spaces and waist-high cubicles for even senior managers, the lab fostered teamwork and a breaking down of barriers – both of which contributed to the success of the project. Razr developers, of instance, bypassed a normal process of running new-product ideas past regional managers across the world. Because they wanted to lead the market, not just give managers and customers what they thought they wanted, the Razr team put aside normal practices. “We did not want to be distracted by the normal inputs we get.” Says Gary R. Weiss, senior director of mechanical engineering, “It would not have allowed us to be as innovative.”

Innovative labs are sparking teamwork and breakthrough products and Motorola Razr and Moto City are prime examples of this new trend.

Two old and famous companies, the House Department of Toyo-Glass co.Ltd. and Sasaki Glass Co.Ltd with an experience of more than one century in producing glassware in Japan, merged on April 1, 2002 under the name of Toyo-Sasaki Glass co. Ltd. with the aim of expanding and improving their activities.

Toyo-Sasaki Glass Co.Ltd. based on its managerial philosophy, tries through innovation and using the world’s latest technologies, to produce and present its products to the world, with the best quality and design, satisfying every market and customer needs and tastes.

Toyo-Sasaki’s array of glass vases, trays, bowls, and other presentation and decorative items are a treat to behold. Ideal for gifting purposes during this festive season of Eid, Diwali, Christmas and New Year, not only would they appeal to the individual buyers but also to corporates looking out for something different this season. And the prices at which they are available will make you do a double-take.

And added to that are the massive discounts available at the Megasale which is now on at Khimji’s Megastore. Visit the showrooms at Ruwi and Qurum and take something home this season that you would always treasure. Contact 24796161 (Ruwi), 2460419 (Qurum).

For 9 years, Samsonite has been delivering quality travel goods to a mobile and ever-changing travel community. Under the recent new leadership of Marcello Bottoli, Chief Executive Officer, and new Global Creative Director, Quentin Mackay, Samsonite is focused on elevating the brand image further, to attract and retain the most discerning of upscale travelers.

New and innovative product introductions will combine the quality craftsmanship, long known by Samsonite, with a fresh and leading fashion/style attitude, as consumers today expect quality, and also a unique design that is individual.
A new brand logo update and new print advertising campaign, featuring a series of high profile celebrity travelers, will further drive this message through a worldwide launch beginning this month.

The original Samsonite logo encompassed the many facets of Samsonite products, services and influence internationally. The new logo maintains these key attributes and qualities, but further focuses on the unique “swirl” as a solid expression of Samsonite’s strengths and aspiration. This will only ensure the logo is even more recognizable as the worldwide symbol of quality, innovation and outstanding design.

The celebrity traveler campaign will feature innovators in their fields like Sir Richard Branson (globe-trotting British entrepreneur and founder of Virgin), Marc Newson (acclaimed Australian designer) and Joaquin Cortes (world renowed Spanish flamenco dancer), among others who will be featured in the series.

“By creating an association between these celebrity influencers and the featured product lines, our new campaign projects an aspirational, yet highly credible image for the brand”, says Marcello Bottoli. “The campaign concept of ‘Life’s a journey’, suggests that the experience of getting there makes life all the more rich and worthwhile, and Samsonite delivers the highly desirable, smartly designed, and more premium products to take long along the way.”

Developed by TBWA\Worldwide, the new print campaign will appear around the world in high-end fashion, business and travel publications beginning this month (in Europe, Asia) and extending to other markets (including the Americas) shortly thereafter. The campaign reflects a true international collaboration, beyond celebrity talent, as the Richard Branson image was shot in both Wisconsin and in the Mojave Desert by Singaporean photographer Blaise Reutersward. Joaquin Cortes will be shot in London with Israeli born/South African bred photographer Nadav Kander.

With an initial, end-of-the-year, highly targeted, media exposure, combined with major public relation efforts in New York, UK, and Hong Kong, as well as prominent in-store exposure at thousands of retailers worldwide, Samsonite will begin a very focused effort at driving up the aspirational image and ‘must have’ status of the brand.

Khimji Ramdas & Hydratight organised a seminar on “Joint Integrity Assurance – The Operational and Economic Benefits” at the Sheraton Oman on 16 November 200.

The Presentation was inaugurated by Mr Pankaj Khimji, Director, Khimji Ramdas. The driving force behind Joint Integrity is lowest cost of leak free production, improving employee and asset safety, and preserving the environment.

Following this was the launch of SP 2020 by Mr. Andre Gombault, Head of Mechanical Engineering, PDO. Mr. Paul Holland, Director, Hydratight made his Presentation on Joint Integrity.

Since developing the technology of hydraulic bolt tensioning some 30 years ago to solve the problem of leaking joints, Hydratight has continued to push back technological barriers with many new and innovative engineering products for bolting, joint integrity, pipe repair and connection systems.

In 2001, Hydratight accepted the challenge set forth by the UKCS (United Kingdom Continental Shelf) offshore operators to assist in reducing the number of reportable leaks by 0% in three years. One initiative was to co-author the Guidelines for the Management of Integrity of Bolted Pipe Joints for UKOOA (UK Offshore Operators Association).

Having established a benchmark and best practices to achieve a leak free safe plant Hydratight continued in its effort to develop new systems, procedures, risk assessments, training & competency needs, health & safety requirements and thus enhance quality of offerings.

Significant improvement in the integrity and safety of operating plants resulted from all these efforts. It was established time and again that the actual cost of the leak was far higher than the cost of its avoidance. Major Operators thus chose Hydratight to assist them in achieving leak free and safe plants.

Hydratight has been offering its products and services in the Middle East for well over 20 years and has consolidated its presence in the region with service bases to support the local needs. PDO initiated efforts to bring about a change in the way bolted flanged joints are managed in their assets & the launch of its new Standard for Flange Tightening SP-2020 is the outcome of this initiative.

Mr. P. C. A. Mohan GM, Hydratight Middle East discussed the relevance of JIA in the region with specific case studies. Also included were a brief overview on product capabilities and services in the region.

Mr. Vijay Kumar, GM, Infrastructure, KR highlighted the role played by Industrial Machinery & Tools Division in bringing the Expertise and Products of Hydratight into Oman.

Detailed presentations on the above to key personnel involved in the Energy Sector in Oman was organised by Khimji Ramdas Industrial Machinery & Tools Division at Hotel Sheraton Oman on Wednesday, 16 November, 200 which was attended by over 70 people representing major Operators and Contractors in the country.

Khimji Ramdas IMT Division in Oman is the local agent for Hydratight products and services and has dedicated resources to meet the demands of the clients in Oman. With their team of engineers, Khimji Ramdas provides necessary expertise to conduct Hydratight operations in the most effective and safest way.

Like Love, Chance appears without Warning

A single encounter can affect an entire existence…if you choose to listen to your heart and follow your destiny. The time has come. You have just a few seconds to seize your chance, then a whole lifetime to believe in love. Your heart is beating to an unknown rhythm, carried away by an irrepressible impulse. This fleeting, magical moment is embodied in a new version of CHANCE that is as irresistible as it is unexpected: the Eau de Parfum, a source of chance, and of love.

Similar to the Eau de Toilette, the Eau de Parfum is an Unexpected Floral, created by Jacques Polge like a marvelous constellation. A sphere of scents with an unpredictable balance, like a surprise that’s renewed again and again, where the notes of CHANCE unfold in an infinite movement: Citron, White Musk, Pink Pepper, Orris Absolute, Jasmine, Fresh Vetiver, Amber Patchouli and Hyacinth. At the heart of this constellation, Absolute of Vanilla makes a discreet appearance, with a roundness and radiant warmth, while Absolute of Exotic Jasmine and Iris assert their presence. Finally, the intensity of a White Musk note accentuates the mysterious and sensual effect of the fragrance.

CHANCE Eau de Parfum becomes rounder, more generous, more enveloping, arousing more emotion, surprise and love. As if to echo its warmer character, the Eau de Parfum fragrance has a beautiful amber-coloured shade, while its bottle is adorned with a few touches of gold: the letters of the word “CHANCE” the neck of the bottle, and the line on the soft pack. As the ultimate sign of elegance, a silvery metal cap gives the finishing touch to the round bottle.

CHANCE Eau de Parfum - An encounter portrayed in an image - the image of a wildly romantic couple entwined together on the top of a perfume bottle immediately brings to the mind the cheerful, fantasy style faithful to the daring, reckless, unpredictable spirit of CHANCE. Chanel's CHANCE Eau de Parfum is now available at Khimji's Megastore.

Lips shimmer in ultra-sheer extreme shine, like sparkling crystal .With Cristalle Gloss, the NEW GLOSS by CHANEL, Heidi Morawetz and Dominique Moncourtois have created a new daring , elegant and sensual look for the lips.
The eight shades of CRISTALLE GLOSS – seven sheer colours and one completely clear – enhance the natural tone of your lips and make them dazzle. For Heidi Morawetz, Makeup Creation studio director at CHANEL, “these subtle shades will appeal to women who love natural lips that look full and sensual.
Sorbet(strawberry pink), Melon(peach), Pink Candy(pink), Bonbon(pale pink), Sugar(pearly white), Tutti Frutti(magenta), Café Glace(bronze) and Ice(clear).
The tube is curved all along its length for an easy grip. It protects the flocked applicator, which smoothes the gloss over lips with a soft effect and maximum sheer results.
Maximum shine for lips with crystalline shimmers. Heidi Morawetz and Dominique Moncourtois have dreamed up a last variation on the shine them to accompany LEVRES SCINTILLANTES and AQUALUMIERE: CRISTALLE GLOSS. A clear, silky, infinitely sheer gloss that recreates a naturally sensual and subtly insolent mouth.
CRISTALLE GLOSS coats the lips in an integral crystal film. It has all the necessary properties; extreme sheerness, intense shine and absolute purity like cut rock crystal, it diffracts and reflects all light, both natural and artificial. The result: a totally natural and translucent makeup effect.
To ensure this pure shine effect, CRISTALLE GLOSS has a unique texture: a soft fluid gel texture that melts onto your lips for maximum comfort. It’s secret? A fluid polymer, both shiny and sheer, combined with a jelling agent that keeps pigments in suspension and a power-packed moisturizing agent.

LE CRAYON GLOSS.CHANEL

A luminous pencil
Texture effect, pigment effect: for the first time, a pencil can shimmer with light just like a gloss… With its soft gel-effect tip, LE CRAYON GLOSS by CHANEL traces and colours the mouth in sheer shine.
Slightly colored with iridescent pigments, LE CRAYON GLOSS is a true pleasure to use. It is ultra-comfortable and traces lip contours with precision. Applied to the lips themselves, it acts as a perfect base for maximum gloss hold. Used alone, it can also be used as a lip gloss. This new beauty step will appeal to women who wish to remain 100% natural. By coating lips in soft dazzling colours, LE CRAYON GLOSS enhances all lips, even thin ones.
LE CRAYON GLOSS comes in eight light shades to enhance the natural tone of the lips. Each can be coordinated with several shades in the CRISTALLE GLOSS, LEVRES SCINTILLANTES and AQUALUMIERE ranges.
Grenadine (pure red), Cerise (fuchsia red), Pink Praline (dark pink), Peach Melba (tender peach), Mandarine (blood orange), Chocalat (brown), Caramel (amber beige) and Rose Honey (honey pink).

A modern echo of the Chanel Spirit.

Between Coco Mademoiselle and women unbreakable bonds are woven, based on free and confident seduction. Only a great fragrance can incite such an encounter, a source of emotions and sensations, continuously renewed by the strength of imagination. Created from unique and rare know-how, COCO MADEMOISELLE bears the inimitable signature of the Great Perfumer CHANEL.
This fresh oriental fragrance created by Jacques Polge now reveals the quintessence of its luminous sensuality with Parfum and Body Cream.
Two exquisitely sophisticated creations that celebrate the resolutely contemporary seduction of COCO MADEMOISELLE.

Parfum
The COCO MADEMOISELLE parfum boldly reveals its luminous sensuality. With a unique contrast of freshness and voluptuousness, it surprises with its heady yet airy notes. A singular and sophisticated juxtaposition of opposites that reflects the very styles of CHANEL.
Parfum is the most beautiful expression of the fragrance, made of the most precious and rarest raw material in the luxury perfumery tradition. Jasmine Absolute and May Rose Absolute shine with blossoming femininity, highlighted by the powdery momentum of Iris Florence.
The fragrance with its very sensual amber peach shade appears in the famous CHANEL faceted bottle in a 7.ml format. Crowned with a transparent glass Cabochon, it is decorated with a label effect over a frosted glass background trimmed with gold. Its neck is sealed with fine baudruchage set off by a few rows of white pearl cotton yarn and black wax stamp. COCO MADEMOISELLE parfum is presented in an iridescent white case. A luminous echo of the airy freshness of a fragrance of intense seduction.

Body Cream
A Homage to White – The star colour at CHANEL, along with black, it’s opposite. White, the colour of COCO MADEMOISELLE.
The new COCO MADEMOISELLE body cream is a symphony of whiteness to savour with all of your senses. Its milky colour is an absolutely pure white. Its fresh, silky texture is both creamy and light. It melts away to provide a delicious sensation of luxury and pleasure. With the airy trails of scent offered by a great sparkling and luminous fragrance, it leaves the skin soft, supple and wonderfully moisturized.
The extremely elegant and translucent frosted glass jar make a beautiful statement in the bathroom with the minimal lines of the CHANEL curved structure, topped with a pearly white cap and gold logo. The Body Cream comes in a white and gold box in the colours of the fragrance.
