Having recently shifted base from Monaco to Dubai only a year ago, this move highlights the company's commitment to the region and in providing its customers with the highest quality of service and products.
"The Middle East has always been a very important market for our business," said Nino Autore, Chairman of Monte Carlo Marine. "This move is part of our overall strategy of enhancing our market share and increasing our operations. With its modern and state-of-the-art facilities and convenient location, Dubai Maritime City provides the perfect platform to help us grow our business.
