Dhofar Global, QTS Italy sign distribution deal
DUBAI, September 7, 2015
Dhofar Global, a leading supplier of hygiene care products in the Middle East, has signed a lead with QTS Italy, a leading manufacturer of dispensers for soap, paper towel and toilet paper, to offer innovative products and value-added services from the tissue dispenser segment to its customers.
Under the terms of the exclusive agreement, Dhofar Global will be the distributor for UAE, Oman, Qatar and Bahrain for the Italian manufacturer, said a statement.
Dhofar Global, which is widely recognised as the regional leader for high-quality hygiene care solutions, will strengthen QTS Italy’s position in the Gulf by distributing their premium dispensers with a goal to grow from 1,500 to 100,000 dispensers during its first phase, it said.
The tissue dispenser segment has a huge potential in the GCC along with tissue paper as both products complement each other.
QTS Italy’s dispensers are built with the original Tris solution which changes one single shell into three different dispensers, namely: interleaved hand towels, jumbo toilet roll, and interleaved toilet paper, said the statement.
Alessandro Anfossi, chief executive officer, QTS Italy, and Dr Amer Al Rawas, chairman of Dhofar Global, signed the agreement in the presence of other senior officials, including Faleh Al Abri, group chief executive officer, Dhofar Global, and Chandan Singh, group chief operations officer, Dhofar Global, at the Excelsior Hotel Gallia in Milan, Italy.
“In response to growing demand for innovative dispensing solutions for soap, paper towel, and toilet paper in UAE, Oman, Qatar, and Bahrain, we have signed an agreement to become the business partner for QTS Italy," said Singh.
"They are the leaders in the dispenser segment with unique designs and innovative technology that are best suited for the region’s requirements. The collaboration will help both parties to expand further in the Arabian Gulf, capture a greater market share, and reach the target of 100,000 dispensers during the first phase of our partnership," he said.
"Moreover, we are keen to support UAE, Oman, Qatar, and Bahrain’s drive towards sustainability and, through this new partnership with QTS Italy, we look forward to provide the market with recycled tissue papers and dispensers in the near future," he added. - TradeArabia News Service
