ABB Turbocharging celebrates 25 years in UAE

DUBAI, November 2, 2014

ABB Turbocharging, a leader in the in the manufacture and maintenance of turbochargers, is celebrating its 25th anniversary in the UAE this year.

While ABB has been present in the UAE since 1976, ABB Turbocharging, established in 1989 in Dubai, has grown to become a fully-fledged service station capable of carrying out all repair works with 27 employees in three locations.

ABB in Dubai provides customers with turbocharging solutions for land-based diesel power plants with a strong focus on the marine segment in both seaports and offshore anchorages at Khorfakkan, Fujairah, and major shipyards Dubai drydocks and Asry, Bahrain.

The service station has a very important regional role with several key countries being supported in Middle East including Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, UAE, Iraq and Yemen. Dubai is also responsible for area management of the turbocharging business in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Pakistan.

In Dubai, ABB’s Turbocharging has enjoyed a number of milestones over the past 25 years including a number of new service centre openings in the Middle East region. 

In 1994, ABB played a pivotal role in establishing the service station in Lahore, Pakistan, catering to the power and gas market. Furthermore, 2003 saw the opening of a new service station in Karachi, Pakistan mainly to cater for the marine market and land-based diesel power plants.

This year, ABB opened two new service points at major shipyards; one in Drydocks World Dubai and another in Asry Bahrain. In the future, ABB’s Turbocharging plans to open two new service points -- one in Iraq and one in Jordan -- in order to cater to land based installations in diesel power stations.

“ABB’s commitment to our customers is to listen, understand and tailor our service offering to match their individual needs. Owing to the strong relationship with our customers, we have constantly evolved over the past 25 years, establishing five service stations and two service points across the region. We have also confirmed plans for two additional service points in Iraq and Jordan, all in an effort to support our customers in reducing operating costs and down time”, said John Fyfe, area manager Middle East and North East Africa.

ABB has been present in the UAE since 1976 serving customers with a range of power and automation technologies to help them improve operating performance while saving energy and lowering environmental impact. ABB won the Zayed Future Energy Prize 2014 and has been involved in many prestigious projects in the country including the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Metro, and the Yas Viceroy Hotel. – TradeArabia News Service
