Exhibitor Testimonials
Middle East Electricity Exhibition provides a vibrant forum for us to share an opportunity to exchange industry insights with some of the best in the business. The market perspectives we gained will surely help us to hone our expertise in this space.

And most importantly, it enabled us to showcase our range of products & services to the relevant audience. Sincere thanks to Middle East Electricity Exhibition organisers. It was a very successful event for us - we are still busy with follow-ups. We'd like to take this opportunity to thank the organising team for all their assistance.

This is our third year at the show, and it gets better and better every year. This year the response, visitor attendance and show organisation have been the best ever, and we have received leads that are likely to lead to the sale of several thousand transformers, plus a number of firm orders that were confirmed at the show. We have received so many enquiries that we now plan to open an office in the UAE in the next few months. We’re also expanding our business in the region, and based on business potential and the success we have experienced at Middle East Electricity, we are starting a joint venture in with Venture Gulf .
Dhruva Talwalkar, Managing Director, Universal Transformers
The Show has been extremely busy, and we’ve been really busy right throughout the show. Middle East Electricity is strategically important for Perkins, both in terms of being here and supporting our OEM’s. We have experienced high levels of demand and have generated orders during the show both from the telecoms industry and for high powered standby applications. It’s been a very buoyant show, and has been even busier than last year. We’re already looking at further increasing the size of our stand for next year.
