Johnson Controls expands operations in Egypt

Johnson Controls has joined up with the Shams Group and Tiba Engineering Industries to market its products in Egypt and expand further into other African markets.

“Our partnership with the Shams Group and Tiba Engineering Industries is the logical next steps for expansion in the region,” Magdy Mekky, VP and MD of Johnson Controls Middle East, said.

“Shams Group will use its network to expand our sales reach in the region, and Tiba Engineering Industries will extend Johnson Control’s R&D, product design and manufacturing capabilities,” explained Mekky.

At present, Johnson Controls has three manufacturing facilities in the Middle East, in Jebal Ali in the UAE, Jeddah in Saudi Arabia and Izmir in Turkey.

Some of its high-profile projects include the City Stars mixed-use facility and Cairo Festival City in Egypt, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and the New Doha International Airport in Qatar.
