Acquiring a company such as Raycom Engineering Systems is a step into a new field for us and is a welcome addition to the Wafi Industrial portfolio.”

With both companies present across a variety of fields, we look forward to shaping the future of this field with the added expertise and resources of Raycom. With current government policies encouraging a broader UAE industrial base, we are advancing by including Raycom Engineering under our umbrella and will now have access to high precision engineering.” said Peter French, Managing Director, Wafi Group.
