Almuftah Group has signed an agreement with Saudi Arabian industrial firm Alkhorayef Group to be the exclusive importer and distributor of the latter’s proprietary heavy-duty generator sets in the Qatari market.
The signing of the agreement also marked the establishment of Almuftah Group’s new division, Almuftah Technology, which would specialise in delivering these efficient and reliable power solutions to customers in Qatar.
The generator sets - marketed in Saudi Arabia under the brand name Gulf Power - combine the performance of industry-leading diesel engines from John Deere and Volvo Penta with the superior efficiency of alternators from Stamford. They are assembled by Alkhorayef Industries at its state-of-the-art manufacturing
facility in Riyadh.
Ibrahim Almuftah, managing director, Almuftah Group, welcomed the setting up of Almuftah Technology and hailed the partnership forged between the two companies as a platform upon which both could build further success in the future.
“We are delighted with the establishment of Almuftah Technology and expect it to benefit the burgeoning commercial and industrial activities in this country. We appreciate the partnership with Alkhorayef Group. Their philosophy of providing quality and reliable solutions to their customers is in line with our own business objectives. We believe that this partnership can help further the sales progress that Almuftah Group has built for itself over the past 50 years,” he said.
Almuftah Technology division manager Mohamed Ibrahim expressed high hopes for the deal. “This business agreement offers a unique opportunity for the two corporate groups to leverage their combined technical capabilities and expand their operations. We look forward to actively working with Alkhorayef Group beginning today and in the years to come,” he said.
Since 1996, Gulf Power has been a brand of choice among many leading businesses in Saudi Arabia. Its line of generator sets can provide power capacities between 30kVA and 750kVA. Almuftah Technology will provide after-sales service and original spare parts, including manufacturing warranty.
The Gulf Power generator sets will be available in Qatar from April 15 when Almuftah Technology’s showroom in Barwa Village, Al Wakrah, opens its doors to the public.
