Honeywell inks new Dubai Civil Defence MoU

Security

The signing of a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Dubai Civil Defence (DCD) and Honeywell, at the recent 2017 Intersec exhibition held in Dubai, will see sharing of knowledge and know-how in safety solutions, with Honeywell training the emirate’s emergency responders in the latest techniques

“We already have a partnership with DCD for their 24/7 programme, which covers the monitoring of commercial buildings in the city, so this MoU is an extension to our existing relationship,” said Fahmi Jabri, Strategy & Marketing Director, Middle East, Russia, Turkey and Africa, Honeywell.

The agreement also provides an opportunity to gain invaluable client input that Jabri said would be used for development of Honeywell’s future product road map.

“We are moving from being a product manufacturer to a solutions provider,” he explained. Honeywell, which has been present in the region for six decades, is committed to sharing the latest technological innovation with the goal of improving safety and security across the Middle East.

“We need to understand [customer] needs today, and in the future; and all our products will have customer input embedded in them,” added Jabri.

The full interview will appear in this month's Health, Safety & Security Review Middle East
