ITALY/UAE: Italian refrigeration and air conditioning component supplier Castel has established a new subsidiary in Dubai to serve the Middle East.

Castel Gulf DMCC will provide better support to all Castel partners and product end users, improve commercial supply and enable technical engineering support to the GCC region

The Castel Gulf DMCC sales office is located in the Jumeirah Lake Towers area in Dubai. The separate warehouse, containing stocks of Castel’s complete product range, is in Dubai’s Jebel Ali region.

“The new subsidiary aims to guarantee an immediate response and the best service commercially and technically available for the entire region,” said Castel Gulf DMCC general manager Salah Abdelghani. “We at Castel believe the decision to have close commercial and technical proximity to customers in the region is a winning formula for establishing a mutually lasting and profitable long term relationship with our historical partners.”
