Kanoo Machinery, a fully-owned business division of Yusuf Bin Ahmed Kanoo Group (YBA Kanoo), one of the largest family-owned conglomerates in the Middle East, has strengthened its Perkins parts distribution and product support capability across the GCC region.

For nearly six decades, Kanoo Machinery has been the distributor for Perkins Engines Company Limited, UK across the Gulf region including Bahrain, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar and Yemen.

Recently, Kanoo Machinery in association with Perkins had organised a three-day distributor meeting and workshop in Dubai to assess their performance and growth strategy in the Gulf region.

The theme of the workshop, held in March 2019, was ‘Growth and Improvement Workshop for Parts and Service’. In attendance were the Kanoo Machinery Divisional Parts and Workshop Managers from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Oman and the aftermarket senior management from Perkins.

Kanoo Regional Power Manager Graeme De Villiers says: 'The aim of the workshop was to improve collaboration between Perkins and Kanoo Machinery and to optimise the level of after-sales and service support that we offer to our valued customers across the region. Perkins aftermarket senior management’s active participation in the workshop further demonstrated their commitment to Kanoo Machinery and 58 years of our long and ever-growing relationship.'

Perkins diesel engines are the market leader in the power generation sector and are a household name across the Middle East region. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and customers alike are drawn to the Perkins brand not only because of its proven engineering excellence, coupled with quality and reliability, but also, due to the consistent after-sales support they get from the approved Perkins distributor, Kanoo Machinery.

Kanoo Machinery works with the region-wide Kanoo Distributor facilities to ensure Perkins global parts and service support standards are delivered to meet the demands of the ever-changing product support requirements of the new generation, technologically advanced, Perkins engines entering the market.
