Danaher Corporation, global science and technology innovator, on Monday opened its new office in Dubai Healthcare City, marking another milestone in its Middle East operations.

The new office, which has been established as a result of the phenomenal success and growth Danaher has experienced in the region in recent years, is bolstered with experienced staff to meet customer needs. Danaher’s employees in the Mena region have more than doubled, increasing by over 170 per cent since 2011 when it first established a presence in Dubai.

The new office is more than double in size than its previous office in Dubai and is symbolic of the company’s growth in the region. The Dubai hub continues to remain the Middle East headquarters for Danaher.

Commenting on the company’s expansion, Jim Lico, Executive Vice President, Danaher Corporation, said: “We are very pleased with the rate at which our businesses have grown in the UAE and in the region as a whole.”

“The Mena region is a high growth region for Danaher, and we believe there is still tremendous opportunity to be tapped. Our enhanced presence will further enable us to position ourselves as a leader in the industry, bringing us closer to our existing and potential clients across the UAE and beyond.”

Alex Joseph, President, Danaher Corporation Middle East and Turkey, said: “Danaher’s impressive portfolio of businesses, combined with our ever-increasing regional presence, ensures we are constantly going above and beyond to meet and exceed customer requirements. What we have achieved in the Mena region sets a benchmark for our success and growth worldwide.”
