OPPLE Lighting and Al Manara recently concluded OPPLE’s latest seminar for the Riyadh project lighting community. The event was attended by over two hundred engineers and ministry officials, who were very much impressed by OPPLE’s quality products and its viability as a full service provider.

DP Smedema, General Manager Middle East of OPPLE Lighting stated in his opening speech, “With the current upheaval in the global lighting market, we are ready to take the vacancy as the new global A-brand, both within the region and globally. We welcome you to join us and watch us as we continue our expansion within the Saudi Arabian market with our partner Al Manara.” Mr. Shahid, Executive Director of Al Manara, who was also present, mirrored this confidence in the brand, “OPPLE has grown to be one of the strongest brands in our portfolio due to an emphasis on consistency and service allowing the brand to quickly gain a reputation for reliability in the market.”

Following an introduction to OPPLE Lighting and Al Manara respectively, the attendees were invited to experience the products themselves, followed by dinner and a raffle. The attendees were most impressed by OPPLE Lighting’s global exposure and strong project references in both the Middle East and European markets with brands such as Movenpick, Adidas, Mercedes, Burger King and KFC, among others. OPPLE’s LED Highbay and LED HR Downlight were particularly well-received due to the high-quality feel and long lifetime that have become icons of OPPLE products in the local market.

The event concluded with a farewell from both OPPLE Lighting and Al Manara management; Mr. Yousufi, owner of Al Manara, made a closing speech, reinforcing the shared vision between both organizations and expressing pride in the strong growth of his company and caliber of its partners.
