Newly opened MENA Centre of Excellence also houses a manufacturing facility
USA based Fike Corporation has strengthened their Middle East and North Africa (MENA) operations with the opening of a fully-fledged office in Dubai.
Designed as a Centre of Excellence, the new Fike MENA office in Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority (JAFZA), will manufacture some of its world-renowned, life-saving and asset protection products to serve its customers in the region.
Ahmad Al Haddad, COO, JAFZA officially opened the Fike Center of Excellence in the presence of Brad Batz, President and CEO of Fike Corporation; David Kemp, Executive Vice President, Sales & Marketing; Ihab Farag, Managing Director; and VIP guests from a number of companies. Fike’s new JAFZA office has a full sales and technical support team.
“With the right resources in one place we have the foundations for our business partners to tap into new opportunities with suppliers, traders and logistics providers,” commented Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO of DP World.
The UAE’s fire safety systems and equipment market is predicted to grow by 10.1% CAGR between 2017 and 2023 with a total projected value of USD 400 billion. The increase in infrastructure development, Expo 2020, and continued expansion of construction, especially in Dubai, will be driving forces for growth in this sector over the next 4 years, creating opportunities for companies with innovative solutions.
“With over 70 years’ experience, we can help companies mitigate the risk of explosions with our understanding of the complexities of processes, relevant code compliance and the critical nature of continued plant operations,” noted Batz.
