Speaking during the formal inauguration of the company office in Dubai Airport Freezone, Mr. Stutz, said, "The region is lavish with potential business opportunities particularly in oil and gas industry, hence a company of our magnitude and value would obviously have a strong presence to lend its products and expertise."

He said Dubai is pro business and has forward looking vision and a well developed infrastructure that businesses need. These are the things that make investment in Dubai very attractive for; a wide assortment of businesses targeting the Gulf and Middle East countries.

Stutz said, "The new service centre will provide our clients in the region with their quick needs at a hand-reach."
