Elcome Branches out in the Middle East and Asia
Elcome International, supplier of turnkey solutions for marine electronics, electrical and safety systems for the world maritime industry, has invested in a expansion of its maritime service network with the opening of new facilities in Egypt, Sri Lanka and Singapore.
“We are aggressively growing our service and support footprint with Elcome factory-trained technicians and spare parts now available at more than 20 strategic ports from Suez to Singapore, as well as flyaway service on a global scale,” said Surjit Singh, Deputy General Manager – Customer Support of Elcome International. “Elcome is now firmly established as the largest and best-equipped marine electronics and safety sales and support network in Asia, as well as the Middle East.”
The three new offices are now fully operational, staffed and stocked with essential spares for ready access locally. They are authorized to perform class-approved radio surveys, VDR annual performance tests, shore-based maintenance for EPIRBs, and service and repairs for products from over 35 leading marine equipment manufacturers.
With the addition of the three new locations, Elcome is now performing more than 830 shipboard service calls per month, with a first-time fix rate of 96 percent.
The new Elcome facility in Egypt is located inside Port Tawfik Free Zone by the southern entrance of the Suez Canal, ensuring rapid response times and eliminating custom delays for ships transiting the canal. The Singapore office provides a presence for Elcome at one of the world’s most preferred international ports of call. As the country is emerging as the logistics hub in South Asia, the Sri Lanka office located inside the Port of Colombo plays a role in commercial and military projects.
In addition to the new service locations, Elcome International already has offices in United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Yemen, as well as an associate company, Elcome Integrated Systems, in India.
