Dubai: Junco Trading LLC, a major commercial distributor, marketing agent and Channel Partner of 3M Gulf Ltd. for industrial solutions, has commissioned the Middle East’s first 3M Authorised Abrasives Conversion Centre in Jebel Ali, to mark 25 years of partnership with 3M, the global powerhouse renowned for its innovative products.
The 8,000-sq ft state-of-the-art conversion facility was inaugurated by Robert H. Nichols, Managing Director for Middle East and Africa, 3M Gulf Ltd. The facility is designed to customize 3M finished products to customers’ requirements and specifications, offering competitive pricing, flexibility, and significantly shorter lead times, while adhering to the stringent 3M standards.
Deepak Dhingra, Managing Director of Junco Trading LLC, said: “25 years ago, Junco was given the opportunity by 3M to be their Channel Partner. Our efforts, at the outset, have always been to emulate 3M’s catchword ‘innovation’ by introducing products that revolutionalise applications. We at Junco share the goals of 3M, and have never hesitated to put our best foot forward towards fulfillment of our common vision. The commissioning of the new facility under the name of Junco Industries LLC, where we vertically integrate our products to meet individual needs of customers in the UAE and across the GCC, is a clear example of the same.”
“We treasure our partnership with 3M, a global company with over 50,000 products. From humble beginnings when we represented just one division of 3M, we now represent five, bringing to the region’s customers some of the best 3M signature products and enhancing the offerings with our own expertise. We look forward to strengthening our partnership with 3M in the years to come, as we continue our expansion plans,” added Dhingra.
Robert H. Nichols, Managing Director of 3M Middle East & Africa, commented: “I am happy to say that in our 25 years of partnership, Junco and 3M have done some major projects together. We are impressed by Junco’s belief in doing things differently and its focus on growth. The new conversion facility is a huge opportunity for Junco and us to offer customised products to our clientele. This is a commendable achievement for Junco and spells a big advantage for customers.”
“3M is a $33 billion highly diversified company with a global presence. We are excited about Expo 2020, which has been widely publicised, and should drive the economy and industry over the next 18 months. With partners like Junco, we aim to make a bigger impact with our innovative products across diverse sectors in the years to come,” Robert Nichols added.
