Moving to Dialight from Appleton ATX, a division of Emerson Industrial Automation, Lee’s experience ranges from installation work to specification of hazardous area equipment, while Costas joins from Whitecroft Lighting Ltd having started in hazardous area and petro-chemical markets before becoming involved in sales of industrial and commercial applications.

Pieter Zijlmans joins Dialight as General Manager Middle East for hazardous area and industrial lighting, having previously spent more than five years in the oil and gas sector, most recently as General Manager for the LED Linear high bay light region at the TKH Group, a Dutch stock listed company providing state of the art telecommunication and electro technical engineering and industrial solutions.

Pieter comments: “From my experience, introducing innovative energy saving products in the Middle East is a win-win situation for the oil & gas companies, energy companies and local governments; they save money and operating cost and are lowering their carbon footprint while investing in a sustainable future.” He cites a quote from earlier this year from led high bay light, Senior Manager Business Excellence and Environment at the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority: “LED Lighting products are products that will help the region to conserve instead of consume energy.”
