    Controls technology company Proserv Controls has announced the acquisition of the trade and assets of Dron & Dickson Electromechanical Contracting (DDEC) LLC, the Middle Eastern business of Dron & Dickson, a UK based expert in the supply, assembly and maintenance of the hazardous area and industrial electrical equipment.

These products include in-house assembled Atex/IECEx approved junction boxes, LED light fixtures and cable glands, for multiple sectors including the energy industry.

    In addition, as part of its wholesale activities, DDEC acts as a principal distributor for several globally recognized and market-leading hazardous area product manufacturers.

    Proserv has built a growing service business across the Middle East, including manufacturing, alongside its local experience and rapid response. Its Abu Dhabi-based team has developed maintenance and support partnerships with the region’s biggest players, including national oil companies (NOCs).
