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.
