forward for IIGM

“Online marketing is definitely a direction.
Now the market space is much more

looking at every supplier’s performance and
analysing before making a decision. IIGM

LED lights and Energy-efficient cooling
systems…; the effort is to be a partner
in the industry’s journey to being LEED
certified.”
