Tadano has opened a new office in Dubai, marking its return to the Middle East after 13 years’ absence since closing its Baghdad office in 1990 just before the First Gulf War.

Tadano Middle East has been established by japan’s leading mobile crane manufacturer in Dubais’s Jebel Ali free trade area. Its aims are to assist distributors across the entire Middle East region in sales promotion, to gather market information and to provide distributors with sales and service training.

The new office was opened on 1 October.

Across the Middle East, Tadano has dealers in Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Kuwait, Oman, Qater, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, UAE and Yemen.
