Tell us about your company

ALBARIQ has been active in the Middle East cleaning equipment market for over 27 years and is one of the oldest and most established suppliers to the region's cleaning and facilities management industry. ALBARIQ operates 6 offices, showrooms and service locations throughout UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar and employs over 110 professionals.

Tell us about your range of products?

At ALBARIQ we have always had a passion for our machines. We early on chose a strategy to work with a diversified product portfolio in order to offer the market the best possible solutions for each given application.

Our industrial portfolio with the US manufactured PowerBoss and FactoryCat brands, have become synonymous with heavy duty performance and a solid design without compromise. These machines are built to last and its fantastic to have equipment that we sold 10-15 years ago still in use.

For commercial applications such as malls, supermarkets and similar we have a long and very successful relationship with Fimap from Italy. The Fimap product portfolio has developed tremendously and their latest product lines such as the MMG, Magna and Maxima are simply beautiful machines, equipped with the latest technology and a fantastic driver/operator comfort.

In February the new GMG model for car parks and large areas will arrive into stock which is an exiting new addition to our portfolio.

Our large sweeper range with the Broddson Tow-Behind sweeper, popularly referred to as sand eaters, and the Fimap 4 and Fimap 6000 have been very successful during the last years.

During this year we teamed up with the world wide market leader in autonomous cleaning machines, Gausium Robotics to introduce the region's FM industry to the future of cleaning.

TTS janitorials and small equipment such as our own EuroVac vacuums and EuroDisc single disc machines form a strong steady backbone of ALBARIQ and can be seen at most projects around the region.

Which is your top performing product?

 It is difficult to single out specific products or product ranges, but from a brand recognition perspective, PowerBoss is probably the strongest brand. Their heavy duty scrubber Nautilus and 9X sweeper can be found in the majority of big developments in the region.

But equally Fimap’s commercial range of battery operated scrubber dryers can be found in supermarkets and malls across the region and sales of their new generation MMG and Maxima together with the trusted long term MR60 and MMX has been good the last year.

What makes it unique?

The PowerBoss machines are built without compromise, with a very strong steel frame together with a well proven sweeping/scrubbing system that survives the demanding middle east environment with high heat, dust and humidity.

What are the future plans/visions of your company?.

For the coming year we will be making some significant investments into our IT infrastructure to support our large aftersales operation that we have. We recently started working with robotic and autonomous cleaning solutions, this is something that we also see growing during the coming year and we see further investments into this area.
