  • Danube Group executives describe Oman as a key market and a “second home” for Milano by Danube.
  • The company says demand remains strong across sanitaryware, electrical products, hardware and furniture fittings despite shipping disruption and rising costs.
  • Milano continues importing products and paying higher freight and war-related port charges to avoid delaying construction and development projects.

Oman has become a key market for Milano by Danube, and Danube Group Vice Chairman Anis Sajan says the Sultanate gave the company “wings to fly high.” He attributed its strong presence to long-standing relationships with local traders and dealers.

Sahil Sajan, director of Milano by Danube, said the company continues to see strong demand in Oman for sanitaryware, electrical products, hardware and furniture fittings. That demand has held up despite higher freight costs, longer shipping times and geopolitical disruption.

Oman gave us wings to fly high.

· Anis SajanThe Danube Group vice chairman described Oman’s role in Milano by Danube’s growth.

The company is trying to compete on more than price in an increasingly competitive market, particularly since the Covid-19 pandemic. Product availability, service and delivery have become central to differentiating brands. Milano offers a seven-year unconditional warranty, which Sahil Sajan said gives customers confidence in the quality of its products.

Customers want reliable quality products which gives them peace of mind.

· Sahil SajanHe explained the company’s emphasis on quality and its seven-year warranty.

Oman also has a personal importance for the Sajan family. Sahil Sajan called it a “second home” and said his father began the business more than 20 years ago. He has worked with Milano for more than six years and said he has seen the Omani market evolve significantly.

Global shipping disruption has sharply increased costs. Freight that once cost $1,000 or $2,000 rose to $5,000 or $6,000, and companies may now have to pay more than $10,000 or $12,000 to move goods. War-related charges are also added when cargo clears ports.

We still take our shipments by paying double the freight. There are also war charges when you clear your goods at the port. But that does not mean we stop our supply.

· Sahil SajanHe described how the company is maintaining imports despite higher logistics costs.

Milano has continued taking shipments despite those pressures, sometimes paying twice the freight cost. Sajan said the company did not want to stop supplies while construction and development projects continued, because customers could not afford lengthy delays.

We want to be there for our customers because projects are still going on, and we never want to delay any of our shipments.

· Sahil SajanHe explained why Milano continues importing products despite shipping disruption.
