Pacific Controls to invest Dh50m in Techno Park

Dilip Rahulan, Chairman and CEO of Pacific Controls, said the setting up of the global engineering giant's regional headquarters in Dubai was in line with the group's aggressive foray into the Gulf where the construction sector is witnessing a spectacular growth.

"As a leading provider of engineering services globally, we find in this region exciting opportunities in facilities management — thanks to our combination of innovative technology, engineering capability and cost-effective implementation," he said.

At the Techno Park, Dubai, Pacific Controls' new headquarters will be a state-of-the-art comprehensive facility incorporating a totally vertical enterprise with research, development, manufacturing and 24-hour monitoring capability.

Techno Park Chief Executive Officer Abdullah Ahmed Ali Qurashi, who signed the agreement with Dilip Rahulan, said: "Dubai continues to ensure suitable environment for companies who seek to develop their business, and Techno Park in Dubai, is the distinguished place for these kind of businesses."

Techno Park, Dubai, established by the Government of Dubai, is designed to be a world-class industrial complex and a centre for industry and hi-tech manufacturing for local and international companies.

Rahulan said Pacific Controls would take advantage of the excellent incentives and facilities offered at the the 20,000 sq metre Techno Park, Dubai, and would invest Dh50 million in infrastructure development.
