Cimac inks deal with Dubai Techno Park

DUBAI —Cimac, an automation and control firm has signed up with Dubai Techno Park to build their technology centre and Centre of excellence at the Park.

The 10,000 square metre facility, to be built at a cost of Dh25 million will have a completely automated panel manufacturing and assembly unit, with the most modern equipments to build control panels and low voltage motor control centres.

An advanced staging and testing facility will also be built at the Park, which would have all facilities and systems to completely test a microprocessor based control system for its full functionality. This facility will include hardware and software simulations, which would allow clients to fully test their systems before it leaves the production floor.

"Dubai can be termed as one of the fastest growing technological hubs in the world", said Ajay Menon, General Manager, Cimac. "The infrastructure, facilities, labour laws, industrial rules and regulations are extremely feasible for establishing business ventures here, and it would not be long before Dubai Techno Park grows into an emerging industrial hub of the region. At Cimac, we too want to contribute to this growth and are determined to introduce the industry's best technological practices into the region".

Abdulla Al Qurashi, Chief Executive Officer, Techno Park said, "Cimac's decision to set up their technology centre at Dubai Techno Park will pay them rich dividends, as the strategic location and operational advantages of the Park will enable the company to effectively tap the Middle East markets. Cimac's expertise in providing turnkey automation solutions will greatly benefit the process and manufacturing industries in the region. Dubai Techno Park, with its high quality infrastructure facilities and support services will serve as the ideal platform for hi-tech companies looking to establish operations in Dubai."

The construction of Cimac's new facility at Techno Park will be spread out in four phases, with the first phase expected to be completed by the second half of 2006. A unique Research and Development (R&D) facility called the 'World Centre of Excellence and Innovation' that will consist of a variety of different robots fitted with Cimac's latest laser technology, will also be a part of Cimac's new project at Techno Park.
