How atg airports is lighting up Middle East

Posted on 29 April 2010 in Airports

The UK-based atg airports has been casting its light across the Middle East and North Africa, continuing to expand its global reach with its range of lighting products and services.

 

The company has won a number of the recent airport development contracts, including new deals in Sudan , Libya and Iran

“These latest contracts confirm the company’s capabilities as a complete solutions provider able to meet the developing needs of airports worldwide,” said managing director Antonio Garrido.

A virtual showroom of atg’s portfolio can be found at Ghat Airport in Libya , which adopted a one-stop-shop specification and took up atg airports’ entire portfolio of luminaires, CCRs, signs and AGL control systems, plus floodlights and distribution boards, cable, supervision and training.

“Our work ranges from everything at Ghat through to the sole installation of lighting and systems at Merowe Airport in Sudan . These recent contracts clearly demonstrate our ability to provide global solutions to airports at all levels,” Garrido said

The company has also provided a range of bespoke solutions involving the specification and installation of a cross-section of its expansive product portfolio at Benghazi Airport in Libya , Khartoum International Airport in Sudan and for the Iranian Airport Authority.

Garrido said: “We have an ambitious growth strategy to expand a worldwide presence and position the company firmly at the forefront of airfield ground lighting, products and control systems. These latest orders are testimony to the company’s advanced design and manufacturing capabilities in providing customised solutions for any airport at any location in the world, whilst recognising the critical and growing importance of the Middle Eastern and African markets.”

The atg portfolio includes approach, taxiway, and runway lighting fittings, clearway airfield guidance signs, a broad range of fully-integrated AGL control systems, the thyristor or sinewave output micro range of CCRs. The company also differentiates itself by offering and providing complete airfield lighting installation and maintenance services around the globe.
