Company sees significant business growth throughout the entire region
Leviton, a leading global manufacturer of electrical devices, has announced the expansion of the company’s Middle East and Africa (MEA) division. As a direct response to the growing business demands in the region, Leviton has doubled its sales force in both the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and South Africa regions.
Since the January 2009 establishment of the MEA regional headquarters in Dubai, Leviton has experienced unprecedented growth in its main two regional business units – Network Solutions and Lighting & Energy Solutions.
“The expansion in the midst of an otherwise challenging business climate, as witnessed in most regions of the world economy, is a testimonial to Leviton’s commitment to meeting the continuing demand for high quality product innovations and superior service that customers are accustomed to in this region,” said Ramzi Nassif, Managing Director of Leviton Middle East.
In line with increasing business opportunities and an expanding product portfolio, Leviton has strategically added key sales and technical personnel in major markets of the UAE, Riyadh and Jeddah in Saudi Arabia and Johannesburg in South Africa. In the coming months, the company will also hire sales staff for Qatar.
“We are very pleased with the addition of six new vital members to our regional team,” said Nassif. “We are confident that their expertise will help Leviton not only enhance our client services among existing and potential customers in the region, but also help us further position our brand strategy in the networking and lighting controls industries.”
