Following closely on the heels of a new office opening in India, Hochiki Europe, manufacturer of life safety solutions, has now opened a new office in Dubai, in order to promote its fire detection and emergency lighting systems across the Middle East.

Hochiki Europe has had a presence in the Middle East for many years and as part of its ongoing expansion plans it has taken the step of opening a dedicated local office that will provide sales and technical support across the region. The new office, located in the Dubai Silicon Oasis, follows the introduction of similar operations in Australia, Mexico and India that enable customers to benefit from an improved user experience.

Explaining the rationale behind this latest move, Stuart Davies, Hochiki Europe’s marketing manager, said, “As one of the world’s most vibrant and dynamic business locations the Middle East has witnessed rapid development, and this has led to growing recognition of the need to keep those that live and work in buildings safe from the dangers of fire. The staff in our new office will be able to promote Hochiki across a diverse array of market sectors and our long term objective is to establish a distinct trading division that will allow us to service end user requirements via a centrally administered distribution network.”
