At Intersec 2017, Gunnebo will showcase the latest generation of security solutions within Entrance security, Electronic security, Perimeter Protection, Safes and Vaults, and Cash management.
Gunnebo, a global provider of security solutions, reports record revenues in 2016 from its Middle East operations, as it prepares to take part in Intersec, the region’s leading trade fair for Security, Safety and Fire Protection. Gunnebo Middle East business grew 10 times organically since Gunnebo set up a direct presence in the Middle East in Dubai on 17th of January, 2000.
According to Jacob Touma, Regional Manager for Gunnebo in the Middle East: “As regional governments and companies invest heavily in security and technology, we have experienced buoyant growth. Our core business, for more than 100 years, has been to protect people, assets and valuables. So, our main contribution to the Middle East is to provide high-quality solutions for increased security and protection for our customers’ employees and businesses. Our solutions also contribute to the fast development of the region. In the UAE, for example, our product within cash management is supporting the city’s transformation from an e-city to a smart city to a happy city.”
With its regional headquarters in Dubai and representative offices in Saudi, Oman and Turkey; and partners in other markets, Gunnebo is well positioned to grow its business in the Arabian Peninsula, in particular, and Middle East, in general.
Entrance and electronic security, perimeter protection, safes and vaults and solutions for cash management, are the largest product groups for Gunnebo in the region, with main business coming from protecting banks, public and commercial buildings, and high-risk sites.
Touma, says: “Our strongest business growth last year was in Oman, where we have evolved from a product supplier to a solution/technology provider and security advisor, to the Central Bank of Oman. We also see a strong market for cash management in the region. In the UAE, with Transguard, we have developed an offering that streamlines and increases cash management efficiency and security for retail, banks and business owners in UAE.”
Gunnebo will exhibit at S2-A18 at Intersec to be held at Dubai World Trade Centre from January 22-24, 2017.
