Cavotec wins order for Cairo Airport project

ShinMaywa is the supplier of an extensive range of products from aircraft and industrial machinery (which includes environmental solutions) to special purpose vehicles. Cavotec’s has a long established relationship with ShinMaywa, which included a previous order for ground support equipment for Cairo International Airport, which underlined Cavotec’s capacity to take on complicated projects and to manufacture and supply high quality systems to very exacting standards.

“Cavotec continues to see demand for its innovative GSE in a large number of markets. The need to upgrade existing facilities, and introduce new systems is especially strong in several countries across Asia and the Middle East,” comments Yann Duclot, Cavotec’s group manager, Sales & Marketing.

The new contract calls on Cavotec to supply 400Hz Solid State Frequency Converters and PCA units. The equipment is for installation on three passenger boarding bridges at Cairo - Egypt’s busiest and Africa’s second busiest after OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa.

“We have long-standing relationships with our partners at Cairo International Airport and in the Africa, Middle East markets more broadly. These relationships help our customers define their specific needs and the challenges they face, and they support our work in meeting those requirements,” says Juergen Strommer, Managing Director of Cavotec Middle East.
