Dhofar Global, a leading supplier of hygiene care products in the Middle East, has announced that it has signed an exclusive agreement with QTS Italy, a leading manufacturer of dispensers for soap, paper towel, and toilet paper, with an aim to offer innovative products and value-added services to some Gulf markets.

According to the terms, Dhofar Global will be the distributor for the UAE, Oman, Qatar, and Bahrain for the Italian manufacturer.

Alessandro Anfossi, chief executive officer, QTS Italy, and Dr Amer Al Rawas, chairman of Dhofar Global, signed the agreement in Italy.

Dhofar Global will strengthen QTS Italy’s position in the Gulf by distributing their premium dispensers with a goal to grow from 1,500 to 100,000 dispensers during the first phase.

Commenting on the agreement with QTS, Chandan Singh, Dhofar Global’s chief operating officer, said: “They are the leaders in the dispenser segment with unique designs and innovative technology that are best suited for the region’s requirements. The collaboration will help both parties to expand further in the Arabian Gulf, capture a greater market share, and reach the target of 100,000 dispensers during the first phase of our partnership.”

The tissue dispenser segment has a huge potential in the GCC along with tissue paper as both products complement each other. QTS Italy’s dispensers are built with the original Tris solution which changes one single shell into three different dispensers, namely: interleaved hand towels, jumbo toilet roll, and interleaved toilet paper. Its flexible system saves time, space and cost.

Meanwhile, Dhofar Global was presented with the Platinum Technology Award for Quality & Best Trade Name 2015. Charbel S Tabet, president and CEO, Otherways Management & Consulting (OMAC), presented the award at a ceremony in Rome.

The company was also conferred with a Total Quality Management (TQM) Certificate.
