A leading international provider of electrical products and services has announced significant growth in a key overseas market.
In a bid to cope with an upturn in demand, Aberdeen-based AEL announced at the recent ADIPEC event in Abu Dhabi that it is to relocate its Caspian and Middle East regional office to larger premises in Baku. The company sees the move as important in positioning itself for further growth in this key market.
Regional manager Vali Aliyev explained: “Although the year to date has not been without its challenges, AEL has focused on directing its business towards the end user and this has achieved good results.
“We have been successful in securing business among target companies including oil and gas operators, EPC contractors, marine companies and service providers and we are currently involved in the bidding processes and negotiations for work in various locations including Qatar, Kazakhstan and UAE.”
AEL operations director Alan Mackie said: “The development of a diverse geographical income stream is crucial in generating overall company growth and we are excited by the opportunities presented in the Caspian and Middle East.
“Attending events such as ADIPEC gives us an important opportunity to meet with current and potential clients face-to-face and better serve their evolving needs.”
Managing director Graeme Mackie added: “This move will correctly position us close to our growing customer base in the region and help us to better serve their evolving needs.”
