Cornish firm targets electronics business in the Middle East

Teddington, the Cornish engineering and manufacturing firm, has appointed Oman-based Defence Electronic System Integration (DESI) to represent its interests in the Gulf States.

This is part of an international sales drive which will give Teddington a presence in the Middle East, with a particular focus on Oman, Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

Teddington managing director James Henderson, writes:

“DESI is a very proactive company and will be working exclusively for Teddington, targeting potential clients and identifying new areas of growth.

“It’s the first time that we’ve had a dedicated agent in this part of the world and it represents a significant commitment.”

Teddington, which has its headquarters in St Austell, Cornwall, specialises in electronics, critical systems, control panel technology, appliance controls, and valve fabrication for sectors such as defence, aerospace, energy, and transport.
