In an announcement, SIPOS Aktorik, supplier of specialist variable speed and standard actuator solutions, has reported the success of its Middle East agent, Torento Energy Systems, a member of the Al Dhafra group. It was reportedly appointed as the exclusive representative for SIPOS, for the region in 2008. It brief was to incorporate SIPOS’ actuation products into its turnkey solutions across a range of sectors, including major utilities, district cooling and construction in the UAE.

Commenting on the synergies of SIPOS’ actuation technology with Torento’s product portfolio, Ahmed Sobhi, a Director of Torento Energy Systems, said: “SIPOS, with its focus on high level service and bespoke solutions, is a perfect match for our business and our customers’ requirements. The extreme heat of the UAE makes the centralised production of cooling energy a highly attractive solution, and this has made district cooling, a technology that is supported by SIPOS’ actuators, a particularly strong growth market.”

According to the announcement, SIPOS claims that its actuation technology plays a key role in controlling valves that manage the cooling water flow and protect hydraulics from water hammer.

Regions supported by Torento Energy Systems include, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Bahrain, Kuwait and Pakistan.
