Dubai, UAE, 30 September 2018: Fike’s new office, in Jafza, will put the company’s investment in research and development to use, as it provides training and education on fire safety and explosion protection systems to local authorities and customers in the GCC region, said Brad Batz, President and CEO, Fike Corporation. He said, “Today, there are quite a few upcoming projects in the MENA region, creating the need for fire safety and explosion protection solutions.” According to Fike, the UAE’s fire safety systems and equipment market is predicted to grow by 10.1% CAGR between 2017 and 2023, with a total project value of USD 400 billion.

Pointing to servicing and maintenance as crucial to fire protection, Batz said that the new office will cut down on the response time for addressing customer problems. He added, “There is a demand for training of fire safety systems all over the region and end-users and channel partners can come and get trained on how to install, service and maintain explosion protection systems.”
