German tower crane manufacturer Wolffkran has moved into new offices in Dubai.

Wolffkran chief executive Peter Schiefer said: “The Middle East region is one of the key regions in my eyes right now. We felt that we needed to have a big presence. Dubai is a natural hub, since you’re going to find a lot of people from different nations. It seems to be a melting pot now, so it’s a perfect initial position for our growth course”.

Wolffkran Arabia’s managing director Martin Kirby added: “The clients benefit from our broad network as well as from over 150 years of engineering expertise. We act as consultants and service providers. Thanks to our outstanding technical know-how and best quality we are able to implement solutions according to the demands of the individual projects”.

“Most of the contracts nowadays are rental contracts. In times of economic difficulties contractors have a preference for utilising suppliers with all-inclusive packages including the crane, the crew and the customer service. This frees them of the need to maintain their own assembly crew and the liabilities that this comes with.”
