Announces the facility at dealer meet to recognise and honour its lifeline of dealers

NIA on March 27 conducted a Dealer Meet in Dubai to recognise and honour its lifeline of dealers, who have collaborated with the company to further the cause of its brands in the marketplace.

The company’s Managing Director, Zakir Ahmed used the meet as an opportunity to highlight the company’s accomplishments and milestones over the year. Ahmed also highlighted the progress made by GREE, one of the brands NIA represents in the UAE. Ahmed spoke of the worldwide ascendancy of GREE in the RAC market. According to market research agency, GfK, Gree increased its value share of the Air Conditioning market (GfK Panel Market) in the United Arab Emirates from 3.4% year ending December 2011 to 7.3% year ending December 2012.

A key feature of the meet was an announcement Ahmed made about introducing a five-year NIA warranty for GREE’s residential window portable and wall-mounted air conditioners. Elaborating on the warranty, Ahmed said the two types of air conditioners would be guaranteed to be free of defects in workmanship and parts in the warranty period. The company, he said, would extend the warranty for defects that occurred during the warranty period under normal use and care, under which the products would be repaired or replaced at the company’s discretion, with no charge for parts or labour, on the first year. The parts, he said, would include compressors, motors, PCBs and capacitors. –BS
