The blossoming construction sector in Abu Dhabi
provides fertile soil for a company such as Delta
Electric Trading. It can provide the necessary
components of electrical infrastructure for any
building project.
“In order to sustain in the market you need to grow
- this is the intention of human beings”, asserts
Thomas. “We are operating from a strong position
in the domestic market, but we also have ambitions
further afield”.
“We provide a solution that delivers real value”,
insists Mr. Thomas, “our range of products and
services makes us an ideal partner to the construction
industry when working on these projects”.
The fact that such ambitions coincide with a foray
into the area of energy generation, with a proposed
250 MW project in India, serve to underline the
aspirations of this developing company.
Mr. Thomas’ message to prospective clients is clear;
“If you use our busways, you can expect to save 15% it is a rock solid solution”.
Indeed, the company is currently expanding into
Bahrain and is looking for partners, not only there,
but throughout the GCC. In order to provide these
GCC markets with the high quality busway systems
that have been so successful in the UAE, Delta
Electric, under the auspices of Vinod Thomas, is
instigating a two-pronged approach. Firstly, they are
getting the systems certified and approved by the
various utilities in the target markets, and, secondly,
they are engaging local distribution partners with a
view to bringing the systems to market, and are open
to establishing new relationships along those lines.
The question of continued growth is never far from
the managing director’s mind,
