Enhanced Support for Industry in Middle-East

METTLER TOLEDO has a launched its Dubai Free Zone Competence Centre to offer advanced analytical support for all industries operating in the Middle East and North Africa.

Providing hands-on equipment training, the facility will help bring about process improvements and protect profits, according to general manager Jean-Claude Alder of the company’s International METTLER TOLEDO Sales International GmbH. "For example, by improving analytical method parameters or advising clients to adjust their procedure, we can help ensure they’re meeting productivity, quality and regulatory goals in the most cost-effective way,” he said.

Experts at the centre will cover lab products from its precision balances to its titrators and meters. Samples characterisation equipment, such as moisture analysers, UV/VIS spectrophotometers and thermal analysers, will also be available for demonstration and use.

“Analytical products such as these find application across many industries, including petrochemicals,” Mr. Alder noted. “Additionally, certain METTLER TOLEDO technologies may be of particular importance to food and pharmaceutical producers at this time, as both industries are facing increasingly stringent regulatory climates.”

In addition to direct technical assistance, the Centre will also make it easier for the company to support the region’s developing industries through trade show participation. “We expect to make significant contributions to the petrochemical, food and pharmaceutical industries from this regional anchor point,” Mr. Alder added.
