David Lyus, GEW’s International Sales Manager overseeing Maghreb, commented on the partnership: “We have worked with Ahmed since 2009, when he began servicing GEW’s VCP installations. He is a long-standing, experienced partner who knows our UV and LED systems well. With his support, our customers can expect enhanced service, faster delivery of spare parts, and efficient technical assistance.”
The collaboration is expected to strengthen service and operational efficiency for GEW customers in Tunisia and Algeria, ensuring timely support and streamlined access to resources.
