Into the Middle East

Applied Analytics and Aber Ahmed Equipment Est. have announced the establishment of Applied Analytics Middle East FZE. This new subsidiary expands and restructures AAI operations in the Gulf region, serving both as an administrative hub and as a high-capacity service facility for local customers. The new entity will anchor AAI's presence in the region, reinforcing the powerful distribution networks of its partners with dedicated service, sales, after-sale support, training, and spare parts.

"The important thing about this venture is that it puts our guys--certified AAI engineers--within driving distance of many of our most important customers," says Dan Murphy, Senior Mechanical Engineer, AAI. "Over the past decade, we have obtained strong distributors like Attest in Saudi Arabia, Sohar Industrial Supplies & Trading in Oman, Instrol LLC in Qatar, and others. The purpose of Applied Analytics Middle East FZE is to complement this distribution and provide a highly localized and accessible service network for the Middle East, our most dynamic regional market."

"Applied Analytics Middle East FZE offers a team of engineers with decades of experience in process analysis for the petroleum and chemical industries," says Muthu Govindan, General Manager, ABEST Abu Dhabi. "This new presence means better service, faster support and maintenance, and more convenient locations for equipment training. We are delighted to work alongside AAI in supporting process analysis for RasGas (the world's largest LNG supplier), Saudi Aramco (the world's largest oil producer), and other major players in the region." "We know that the best way to satisfy local customer needs for startup visits, spare parts, certified training, and all other services is to open up our own shop in the neighborhood, so to speak," adds Murphy. "The new office will collaborate nicely with Applied Analytics (India) Private Limited in Surat to canvas two critical markets with sales and service. On behalf of Applied Analytics Middle East FZE--based in Sharjah, UAE--we look forward to better serving our neighbors in the region."
