Kanoo Automotive and Industrial Equipment (KAIE), a subsidiary of the Ebrahim K Kanoo conglomerate, has signed an official agreement with partners Butzbach to expand its portfolio to include hangar doors, on the sidelines of the Bahrain International Air Show (BIAS) 2018.

The three-day event will conclude tomorrow (November 16) at the Sakhir Air Base in southern Bahrain.

Jamie Bowen, general manager, KAIE, and Simon Jones, area manager, Butzbach, were present at the KAIE booth in the trade zone with functioning replicas of Butzbach’s most popular products.

The Butzbach Group is the leading provider of hangar doors to owners of business aircrafts, international airports, aircraft manufacturers, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) companies and military installations.

The company has installed more than 750 hangar door systems worldwide. In Germany, Butzbach recently installed a sliding door for the new Lufthansa Technik hangar at Berlin Brandenburg Airport, which is set to open in 2020.

Bowen said: “Butzbach has partnered with KAIE for some time now and their products are installed at many outlets in Bahrain.”

“This new exclusivity deal will help both companies grow their local and regional customer base and provide local companies with the best international products and the professional aftersales service that KAIE is renowned for,” he added.

Jones said: “KAIE and Ebrahim K Kanoo are providing our local customers steady aftersales support along with a dedicated service team, which operates around the clock.”

“We know that this exclusive partnership will further enhance our business opportunities in Bahrain and the region,” he added.

The KAIE stand is located in the Traders Zone of the air show and is showcasing a wide range of airport ground support and terminal hall services with global partners Butzbach, Stahlwille, Renner, Kuken, Dynabrade and SWF cranes.

KAIE was established in 1990 and is the sole distributor of more than 40 world renowned brands, providing high quality automotive and industrial equipment as well as tools.

In addition to aftersales support such as installation, service and annual maintenance, KAIE offers customers consultation and expertise of highly qualified sales engineers, it stated. – TradeArabia News Service
