Halton Middle East, specialising in indoor climate products, solutions and services, has announced opening a new office in Dubai to provide technical services and support to a wide range of customers across the Middle East and North Africa.

The opening ceremony of the new office, attended by over 100 customers and partners, was held on May 13, the announcement added.

Azzam Hunjul, Head of Halton Operations in the Middle East, and Mika Halttunen, the Chairman of the Board of Halton Group Ltd, reportedly gave the welcome address, and Ilkka-Pekka Similä, the Finnish Ambassador to the UAE congratulated Halton for its latest milestone, and commended the good relations between the UAE and Finland.

The newly opened office is currently staffed by about 20 professionals to strengthen its operations in the region, and is poised to expand, keeping pace with the region’s growth, Halton informed. It cited the example of the 2020 World Expo, to be held in Dubai, which is expected to further increase investments in infrastructure and tourism.

Reflecting this, Halttunen said: “Dubai is an important business hub in the region, which is experiencing strong growth. Our new office in the Jebel Ali district enables us to continue the strengthening of our customer service in this dynamic area.”

Halton, whose major projects reportedly include Burj Khalifa, also has an office in Saudi Arabia.
