The training facility includes a dedicated classroom and conference area to hold up to 20 participants each at a time, as well as indoor office and practical area equipped with modern devices, tools and systems to expedite leading-edge engineering, product and process learning development.

For those who successfully complete the courses, completion Certificates from Perkins will be issued online. 

PSG Technical & Training Manager Shaik Rahim has demonstrated that he delivers training to the highest standards that are expected by Perkins. He is currently coaching and mentoring Service Engineer Shiju Thomas to become a trainer.

The full-fledged PSG Regional Training facility will be home to OEMs, OEM Dealers, their customers and other end-users of Perkins engines to address the market needs in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and Yemen for highest quality service and product support through knowledge gained methodically and working with latest technical information on products.
Mr. Shaik Rahim said, “The plan to eventually create an exclusive Training facility for Perkins products was realized after studying the growing demands for product support requirements based on the number of Perkins engines entering the market every year. This project was implemented as part of Perkins strategy to grow and sustain 'Best in class' Distribution network.”

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.

Power Systems Gulf as the appointed regional distributor of Perkins in the Arabian Gulf since last year looks after regional distribution strategy, commercial operation and management of the Perkins engines distribution sales development and product support capability throughout Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Yemen.

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.
