Since entering the Middle East market in 2006, tna's business in the region has grown tenfold. To expand its reach, the Australian-owned global food packaging and processing solutions provider has just opened a new office and training facility in Dubai.

Located in the Dubai Airport Free Zone (DAFZ), the company’s new Middle East hub provides local food manufacturers with a range of new after-market services, including technical support and easy access to spare parts, according to tna. The new facilities feature a modern design and open plan layout. The company says the site also incorporates a new training and demo centre to ensure food manufacturers are able to maximise the performance of their tna equipment.

“The Middle East food industry is experiencing considerable growth at the moment,” says Mukul Shukla, general manager, tna – Middle East. “Across the region, local and international companies are looking for manufacturing equipment that improves productivity, ensures product quality and meets local consumer demands to tap into the opportunities the Middle East food industry is offering.

“As a global supplier with a strong local footprint, we’re ideally placed to cater to the different requirements of this dynamic industry,” Shukla says.

“tna’s new demo and training area offers our customers with a training experience that goes far beyond standard operating instructions by offering them detailed insights into the functions of tna’s cutting-edge equipment in a live operational environment,” Shukla says.

tna Middle East has, according to the company, grown tenfold since it started operating in the region in 2006 – both in terms of sales as well as staff and Shukla says the new facility will be instrumental in helping food manufacturers unlock the potential of this rapidly evolving market.
