“Sponsoring our company is Sultan Salem Khadem Salem Al Mansouri, a U.A.E. national who has sponsored many other firms engaged in engineering, infrastructure and logistics,” said Thaddeus Joymon, general manager of BDP Project Logistics’ Dubai office. “He brings to us extensive experience, expertise and enthusiasm in dealing with companies in the oil and gas, energy and engineering and construction industries in Abu Dhabi.”
