Market gaining strength

Over 40% sales gained as of 2009

Abu Dhabi focus of major growth

Middle East, 9th May, 2011: German manufacturer of high quality built-in kitchen appliances and kitchen sinks, Teka Küchentechnik has announced positive growth figures for 2010 and an encouraging outlook for continued growth in 2011 and beyond.

With a steady stance during the recent economic downturn, Teka has managed to expand its dealer network though struggling with sales - with 2010 seeing 112 dealers in the UAE as opposed to just double digits in 2009. "Though it has been a struggle for all of us during the past two years, our vision has been unwavering - support our partners and clients at all times - and we are finally seeing the benefits," commented Arturo Manso, Managing Director at Teka Küchentechnik Middle East.

This business strategy has seen the manufacturer regain over 40% of sales over those in 2009. With over 150 projects spread across the UAE, Teka has already forecast a further 20% growth in sales for 2011 with the impending launch of their new collection of high range sinks including the LED illumination and glass sinks, along with an eye on environmental sustainability with their kitchen appliances. Teka's recently introduced Intelligent Power Management (IPM) appliances have been developed with minimum power consumption in mind as well as for buildings in which there are power restrictions.

"Abu Dhabi has been a key area of focal point for us this year with steady, focused growth and a site on sustainability. Our commitment of quality, outstanding installation, commissioning, warranty and post sales service has meant that numerous developers and contractors in the city and across the UAE and Middle East are returning to us in 2011," added Manso.

To celebrate their achievements, the company recently held their Annual Event in Abu Dhabi, which attracted more than 400 guests from across the industry including the main developers, contractors, kitchen cabinet studios, consultants and interior designers.
