[SatNews] Ever expanding their tracking capabilities, EMS Global Tracking has opened a new office in Dubai to serve the Middle East and Africa region. EMS Global Tracking, a leader in global telematics, force tracking and Search and Rescue technology, currently has staff on the ground in various Middle Eastern countries, including the Dubai office and several customer locations.

EMS Global Tracking, a division of EMSTechnologies, Inc., will share their new office space with LXE, EMS’s division offering ruggedized computers for locations such as warehouses and ports. LXE and EMS Global Tracking have found synergies in the region where customers require the asset tracking capability of LXE mobile computers to complement EMS Global Tracking technology.

Faisal Saifullah, EMS Global Tracking’s regional sales manager for the Middle East and North Africa region, plans to add staff in early 2011. He says, “The opportunities in the security space are really booming — having more people on the ground will help us to support our customers, grow our market share and improve our revenues from the region.”

“EMS is committed to the Middle East region and considers Dubai, as a logistics operations hub for the area, an ideal location from which to grow our global tracking business,” said Simon van den Dries, vice president of Global Sales, EMS Global Tracking.

EMS in Dubai services governmental departments and overseas companies with a presence in the Middle East through a network of value-added resellers and partners.
