Klampfer Middle East, a KBW Investments company, and Brayan Group, a leader in turnkey mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) services, have launched a partnership enterprise to service the UAE MEP sector.

The newly-formed company Klampfer-Brayan Electromechanical Contracting (KBEC) was conceptualised by Klampfer Middle East managing director Günther Hinterberger and Praveen B Sarapure, chief executive officer, Brayan Group.

“As a European company with an international engineering portfolio, Klampfer is moving toward increasing and diversifying our Middle East market share beginning with the UAE. Our partnership with Brayan Group serves to both solidify our local footprint, and leverages the company’s on-the-ground years of MEP experience,” said Hinterberger.

KBEC was developed based on discussions that highlighted mutually-aligned interests and construction industry corporate aims, while drawing on proven individual strengths in multiple engineering-related sectors.

KBEC anticipates a warm reception as the new company will take a MEP sector-centric approach based on international best practices paired with a localized service offering, said Sarapure.

“The merging of our two interests to create KBEC also brings considerable financial support to MEP execution in the UAE. This allows for a focus on strengths - not just of our respective solid reputations and different levels of geographic penetration - but on recruiting top level human capital to service KBEC clients for work needs,” said Sarapure.

“To further enhance the Klampfer-Brayan advantage, Joe Szabo, a sector veteran with more than 15 years of senior-level appointments across MEP and various other construction sector disciplines, has been confirmed as the operation’s director. We’re confident that his management expertise together with his hard knowledge of the field will ensure timely and cost-effective solutions for the Klampfer-Brayan client base,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
