Kanoo Machinery joins Perkins in the 2018 Middle East Electricity to showcase revolutionary engines that power a myriad of applications

Kanoo Machinery is the authorised Perkins distributor in the Gulf, covering Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and Yemen as part of Perkins strategy to grow and sustain 'Best in class' Distribution network 
Dubai, UAE: Kanoo Machinery, a member of The Kanoo Group, exhibited alongside its principal Perkins® at the 2018 Middle East Electricity held at the Dubai World Trade Centre on 6-8 March 2018 to meet the power industry’s burgeoning demand for clean and efficient gas fuelled engines.

Perkins, one of the world’s leading providers of diesel and gas engines is a key sponsor of the recently concluded exhibition. Middle East Electricity is the region’s most important international trade event for the power industry with dedicated product sectors for power generation, transmission & distribution, lighting, solar and energy storage and management solutions.

During the show, Perkins showcased its three new engine platforms, the 7L Perkins® 1206, 9.3L 1706 and 18L 2806, which it said deliver a great uplift in power density across a comprehensive range of power nodes. This means that customers can run a smaller engine that is just as dependable as before regardless of what EP sector, power needs, emissions demands, or environmental challenges they work in, thus increasing its performance and reducing operational costs.

Perkins also showcased its latest product innovation – the Perkins® SmartCap and Perkins® My Engine App which can be downloaded from Apple and Google App stores. The SmartCap solution allows end users to connect their mobile device to their engine via the free Perkins® My Engine App on their smartphone, installed by replacing the existing oil filler cap. This cap monitors the Perkins' engine and directly sends data to the app with information such as engine running hour, location, and much more.

Graeme de Villiers, acting country manager, Kanoo Machinery – UAE, said, “Kanoo Machinery looks after Perkins’ distribution strategy, engine distribution management, and product support capacity across the GCC. This includes engine sales, brand and product marketing, training, parts inventory optimisation, as well as technical/warranty support.”

“To support the new generation of technologically advanced Perkins engines entering the market, we ensure that we deliver consistent and seamless service across the region, in accordance with Perkins global parts and service support standards,” he added.

This year's exhibition marked a prominent recognition to Power Systems Gulf due to its professional approach to business, commitment to customers and excellent customer service response in the entire region.

One of the exhibition highlights was the added confidence placed on Perkins-powered gensets for both prime and standby applications by customers. This is because of the visibility and recognition given to authorized Perkins Distributor OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) through 'Certificate of Authenticity' that gives assurance to end-users in the genuineness of the Perkins engines they are buying. This also gives the OEM an assurance of product support to their end-users wherever their Perkins engines are operating.

This unique opportunity has encouraged many new genset assemblers to approach Power Systems Gulf to join hands for engine business cooperation. Power Systems Gulf engine sales package offers applications support, training, Extended Service Contracts, OEM Dealer agreements and more importantly, stability in the long term, to do business with a trusted Perkins partner upholding its values of honesty and integrity.

Another noticeable point during the exhibition was the absence of serious complaints on product support issues from territories. This is a testimony to the fact that the new regional business model implemented is improving the support levels for Perkins products in the region.

Middle East Electricity 2013 was the biggest event in its 38-year history with over 18,000 visitors reviewing the latest products and services and 1,100 exhibitors from 60 countries. Close to 150 exhibitors – all generator set and engine manufacturers including Perkins were gathered in one specific section, Sheikh Saeed Halls which covers a total floor area of 5,750 square meters during the exhibition.

With strong foundation in place and with the positive feedback received from Middle East Electricity Exhibition, Power Systems Gulf is very optimistic to grow Perkins business sustainably in the region through its strategic alignment with Kanoo & Perkins vision.
