Gietart, the world’s leading modern machine factory has opened its Middle East headquarters in the Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza).

Present at the inauguration were Paul van Doesburg, CEO, Gietart Machinefabriek BV, and senior Jafza officials.
Gietart was founded in 1922 as a trading-company in foundry supplies. Today it is a modern machine factory with a large and well-equipped home base in the Netherlands, a production facility in Dubai and a joint venture in Turkey.
Ibrahim Al Janahi, senior vice president, commercial sales, Jafza, inaugurated the new company offices and said: “We are delighted to have a name like Gietart among us. The long history of the company and the name that it bears in the minds of the industry is synonymous with trust and reliability, and it is indeed a source of pride for Jafza to be associated with a company of this stature.”
Waleed Massad, CEO Gietart, Middle East remarked: “Dubai is considered the business hub for GCC countries and Jafza particularly has seen exceptional development.
“To fulfill our commitments towards our regional clients, Jafza supports us by its extensive facilities. It helps us streamline our supply chain for our global customers and manufacturers across the wide fraction of the industry”.
Since the 1940s Gietart flourished as a manufacturer of all types of shot blast machines. However, in the 80s it narrowed the focus of activities to roller conveyor shot blasting machines to guarantee quality service.
Gietart produces three series of shot blasting machines. The Gietart surface treatment lines are the extension of the well known solid and reliable Gietart shot blast machines to a complete surface treatment installation including pre heating, shot blasting, painting and drying.
Gietart specialises in the design and supply of complete steel surface treatment systems and every layout engineered by Gietart is custom tailored to the specific operations and requirements of its customers.
