4781 Xylem has opened a new pump rental and service business in Jebel Ali, Dubai, to serve growing demand from the construction and infrastructure sectors, and municipal customers across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).

This follows the company’s announcement in January this year of a US$35 million investment in expanding its operations in the region.

The investment, which will continue until 2018, will enable the localisation of products as well as building local capabilities, including a pump manufacturing facility; a pump rental and services operation, and offices in the UAE, Oman and Qatar.

The number of construction projects currently underway in Dubai equate to $390.8 billion, and Xylem says its new pump rental and service hub will serve customer needs for temporary and long-term rental solutions, and provide access to thousands of Xylem rental assets capable of addressing complex dewatering challenges.

“The Middle East and North Africa region is evolving at a rapid rate, with thousands of construction and infrastructure projects currently underway,” says Graeme Saunders, director of the dewatering business for Xylem MENA.

“This new hub is part of a larger, significant investment we are making in the MENA region as we work to solve our customers critical water challenges,” says David Flinton, senior vice president and president of xylem's dewatering business.
