Haver Middle East (HME) will not only act as the contact-partner for the area customers, but also for the Haver business units and Haver Group members. HME will vigorously promote the activities of the entire HAVER Group in the surrounding region. The office is managed by Matthias Kügeler, who is supported by Silvia Behrens-Kelleher in the secretarial department.
Currently an economic boom is taking place in almost every Gulf state. This means further investment in the sectors of cement and building construction materials is expected. Also the mineral oil industry in nearby oil producing countries plan to expand capacity over the next few years, thus resulting in higher demand for products from the entire Haver Technology Group.
Setting up an office in the economically thriving emirate of Ras Al Khaimah is viewed as an important step by Haver & Boecker in entering this Middle East region. The deciding factors in selecting the site are the area's currently moderate real estate prices, its proximity to the local cement industry and limestone quarries in the north, and its ideal strategic location near Dubai Airport, which offers extensive international flight connections.
Extensive support during the preparation phase of establishing the subsidiary company was provided by Senior Consultant Wolfgang Haschke.
