VALX Middle East DWC-LLC established.
After a successful Automechanika show in Dubai earlier this year, VALX expanded its global activities by establishing VALX Middle East DWC-LLC. VALX Middle East operates from its office in Dubai and serves the MENA region (Middle East and Northern Africa).
Martin van Willigen – Sales Director VALX International BV:
“It was a logical next step for us to invest in the Middle East. After FUWA acquired VALX in 2014 we changed our course and decided to expand our business outside Europe. The VALX axle concept is very sturdy and extremely suitable for the rougher road conditions outside Europe. Although mechanical suspensions and heavy duty axles are still predominantly used, we foresee an increased demand in air suspensions and 9 tonne axles. So the timing is perfect!
Parent company FUWA has been selling in the MENA region since the year 2000. FUWA axles, bogies, suspensions and landing legs are widely accepted in the region. Both the VALX and FUWA brands will be marketed under the VALX Middle East umbrella and with both brands a wider customer base can be served.
VALX Middle East appointed Mr. Abdul Razak Kalady, an industry veteran with over 22 years of experience. He has been working as Regional Sales Manager for a competitor before joining the former FUWA distributor in 2014.
Abdul Razak Kalady – Commercial Manager VALX Middle East DWC-LLC:
"Being part of FUWA, the largest axle manufacturer in the world, we could deliver high quality, wide range of axles and undercarriage equipment. I joined VALX because I believe in the products and I can foresee huge market potential in this region. We plan to grab substantial market share within the next years for VALX air suspension segment and increase our current market share with FUWA’s conventional mechanical suspension range."
