Xylem, the leading water technology company, has opened its new $1.2 million worth service center in the UAE in order to strengthen its position in the Middle East to better address the region’s water-related challenges.

Located in Dubai’s Jebel Ali Free Zone, the new facility will span over 10,000 square meters and will feature a wash bay, lifting and handling cranes and tooling, trimming and balancing machines, original spare parts, testing benches, a painting booth, programming and calibrating equipment and devices.

The company said in a statement that this move will enable Xylem to respond to any customer needs faster and provide tailor-made solutions such as real-time interventions by experts.

The service hub currently employs more than 16 staff, including engineers and technicians, and is set to create 300 employment opportunities.
