Cavotec Middle East FZE, a leading supplier of environment-friendly power solutions, says it is eyeing a bigger share in the Middle East market following the successful completion of the Dh92 million ($25.04 million) contract to supply its WIBE Cable Management System to Concourse 2 of Dubai Airport.

“Our contribution towards a very crucial area in the development of Dubai Airport has elicited widespread recognition within the industry,” said Thomas Widegren, executive chairman of Cavotec Middle East. “The sheer magnitude of our supply to Dubai Airport has generated a large amount of interest among our peer group. We are now charting out plans to build on this success.”
Cavotec provided total technical support for Concourse 2 at the Dubai International Airport, one of the largest constructions in the world, in addition to the successful execution of projects at Emirates Engineering. The Concourse 2 at Dubai Airport is the very first airport to develop dedicated A380 gates by fully integrating Cavotec’s pop-up systems for the A380 aircraft. Cavotec has supplied pits for all 26 gates (two each) at Concourse 2 which is an unparalleled achievement within the aviation sector in the Middle East.
Cavotec’s recent acquisition of the US-based Dabico Group, a global leader in the manufacture of airport ground support equipment, has consolidated its position manifold in the market. 
“Cavotec Fladung’s gamut of products is enhanced by Dabico’s fuel systems. Cavotec is now in a unique position to offer customers a full complement of electrical, air, water and fuel in-ground and above-ground airport supply systems,” Widegren said.
“The acquisition of Dabico is a positive development. It is an integration dovetailed to the market needs. These synergies will significantly boost our combined presence in the worldwide market and provide new opportunities for all of our airports activities,” he said.
Juergen Strommer, managing director, Cavotec Middle East, said the company had a different approach to the science of cable management that made it a favourite with its customers. The WIBE Academy, launched by us, plays an instrumental role in training the staff in the nuance and practice of the system so that the MEP contractor will have a correct and quality installation within the stipulated timeframe.
WIBE is an all-encompassing technology that provides ladders installed both vertically and horizontally to carry electrical cables over very long areas. It is considered ideal for high-rise towers.
Besides a large range of ground support equipment which includes systems such as pop-up and hatch-type pits, towbars, aircraft connectors and cable coils, a substantial amount of Cavotec’s focus is directed into finding new efficient and environmentally friendly ways to supply aircraft with essential services while parked at the gate.
Established in 1995, Cavotec Middle East is a fully owned subsidiary of Cavotec MSL Holdings, a leading supplier of innovative mobile power supply solutions. Cavotec ME has grown steadily to become an important and integral part of Cavotec MSL’s global strategy.
