Rolls-Royce expands to Middle East

With the new office, support will be given to distributors and business partners of MTU, MTU Onsite Energy and Bergen Engines in 21 countries in the Middle East and North Africa. Rolls-Royce says the goal is to achieve an even tighter sales and service network in the region, where high-speed and medium-speed large diesel and gas engines, drive systems and on-site power generation systems are mainly deployed in electrical power generation, the oil and gas industry, and to drive trains and agricultural machinery.

“With our new sales and service centre in Dubai, we are seeking to leverage the huge potential that markets in the Middle East and North Africa carry, and to drive forward our business there in an even more targeted way,” said Dr Michael Haidinger, chief sales officer, Rolls-Royce Power Systems.

The subsidiary also has its own MTU service technicians at disposal locally for carrying out repairs on all products across all applications, quickly and on demand. It says its warehouse with spare parts store also facilitates fast reaction times and high availability.
