to the UAE and Middle East and North Africa through opening of new office and
expansion of regional team
24 November 2014, Dubai, UAE: Danaher Corporation, global science and technology innovator,
today opened its new office in Dubai Healthcare City, marking another milestone
in its Middle East operations. The new office, which has been established as a
result of the phenomenal success and growth Danaher has experienced in the
region in recent years, is bolstered with experienced staff to meet customer
needs. Danaher’s employees in the MENA
region have more than doubled, increasing by over 170% since 2011 when it first
established a presence in Dubai.
Twenty five of Danaher’s operating
companies, from its five main segments: Test and Measurement, Environmental,
Life Sciences and Diagnostics, Dental, and Industrial Technologies, are housed
at the new premises. The new office is
more than double in size than its previous office in Dubai and is symbolic of
the company’s growth in the region. The Dubai hub continues to remain the
Middle East headquarters for Danaher.
Commenting on the company’s
expansion, Jim Lico, Executive Vice President, Danaher Corporation, said, “We
are very pleased with the rate at which our businesses have grown in the UAE
and in the region as a whole. The MENA region is a high growth region for Danaher,
and we believe there is still tremendous opportunity to be tapped. Our enhanced
presence will further enable us to position ourselves as a leader in the
industry, bringing us closer to our existing and potential clients across the
UAE and beyond”.
Alex Joseph, President, Danaher
Corporation Middle East and Turkey, said, “Danaher’s impressive portfolio of
businesses, combined with our ever-increasing regional presence, ensures we are
constantly going above and beyond to meet and exceed customer requirements. What
we have achieved in the MENA region sets a benchmark for our success and growth
worldwide. The new office signifies not just a new location, but collaboration
and opportunities all under one roof. Our commitment to the region is stronger
now than ever before, and we are keen to invest in our capabilities to continue
to deliver outstanding results time and again”.
