"We are hoping that partnering with Dragoni will help us meet the growing demand for our products and services in the MENA region, and will allow us to establish a long term win-win situation for both parties and to secure more contracts".
The partnership goal is to increase the market share in the UAE contracting business by combining both companies' fields of expertise and allowing financial synergies.
This transaction by Depa is expected to boost Dragoni's presence in the MENA markets, allowing both companies to forge stronger alliances as their businesses complement one another.
"We are confident in what Dragoni's capabilities and capacities are, and we look forward to realizing more growth opportunities together", concluded Sweid.
