Cummins Arabia has formed a partnership with Sullivan Palatek Asia (SPA), an important decision that might significantly alter the air compressor business in the United Arab Emirates. Through this partnership, SPA's diesel-powered portable air compressors are brought to the UAE market exclusively through Cummins Arabia.

With a long history in the compressor business, Sullivan Palatek embodies the reliability and creativity of Cummins. Their extensive line, built to withstand the harsh Middle Eastern climate, enhances Cummins Arabia's strong network of sales and services. The fact that Cummins engines power the bulk of Sullivan Palatek's compressors allows Cummins Arabia to offer unmatched end-to-end service for both the engine and the compressor, removing the need for outside assistance. This further strengthens the synergy between the two companies.

Cummins Arabia's managing director, Amit Deshpande, emphasises the importance of this collaboration: "Joining forces with Sullivan Palatek not only reflects our core values but also strengthens our position as the UAE's go-to source for solutions. We are thrilled to provide our clients with the superiority of both our extensive support services and the compressors manufactured by Sullivan Palatek."

Speaking about the strategic elements of the relationship, Mr. Rajesh George, Regional Director of Sullivan Palatek Asia, said, "Our decision to work with Cummins Arabia comes from a transformative vision to redefine industry standards. This cooperation is an excellent match because of their wide network and technological know-how in the area and our historical reputation among clients, particularly in oil rigs around the Middle East."

Innovative Sullivan Palatek products, such as the DOF1750H portable oil-free compressor and other new ranges catered to regional needs, will be introduced to the MEA/GCC markets as a result of this agreement.

The collaboration expands Cummins Arabia's product offering and demonstrates the company's dedication to offering integrated solutions to a variety of industries, such as construction, oil and gas, and equipment rental. Since Cummins engines power most of Sullivan Palatek's range, Cummins Arabia's established network and technical expertise provide unrivalled service in the field.

With an initial focus on the United Arab Emirates, this deal sets the stage for Cummins Arabia to gradually expand, with the goal of expanding its position in important market categories. Cummins Arabia is prepared to investigate more opportunities involving SPA's industrial compressors.
