How is your company set up in the Middle East?

We do a fair amount of business. We do not have an office, but agents.

What kind of challenges do you see in the Middle East market?

The efficiency of products. Also the conception of the electricity there and achieving green energy are challenges. Green energy of course is something high on our agenda.

What are your plans for the Middle East in the future?

We are going to spread and have a regional office in the Middle East. We are covering all the countries but we are planning to open an office in 2010.

The postponing of projects is a major issue, otherwise we have no problems. It has not happened to us much, we are not really affected by the crisis; a few things have been postponed but not that much.
