“This facility highlights our ability to listen to the needs of our customers and respond with a solution,” said Mohamad.

“They requested shorter lead times, and now we will be able to deliver machines much quicker from the new Dubai hub than from the factory – within days, rather than weeks.”

Mahesh added, “We are delighted to announce the opening of this new location as it enhances our ability to support our customers across the Middle East, by bringing our products closer to the market. It will also help us to further strengthen partnerships and grow our brand presence in this important region.”
