Technology demands and AI investments power Centena Group’s strong regional performance | Web Release
Sanjay Raghunath, Chairman and Managing Director of Centena Group said: “The growth we achieved in
2024 reflects the region’s strong appetite for innovative solutions and our potential to deliver value across different

verticals. At Centena, we are committed to contributing towards making the world a better place by leveraging
cutting-edge technologies across all our divisions. With a growing portfolio of projects, increasing global interest

and a strong regional presence, we are confidently looking forward to doubling our growth in the next fiscal year,
driven by strategic partnerships, integrated solutions and unwavering focus on innovation.”

Building on a strong track record in Qatar, where the company successfully delivered tailor-made industrial metering

and analyser solutions, both the IEP division and Emphor IPS are now actively exploring expansion opportunities in
other high-potential MENA markets. As the region’s demand for customised industrial process solutions, real-time

data analytics and operational efficiency is surging, Centena’s focus on innovation and localisation positions these
divisions to capture significant new growth markets and deepen their regional footprint in 2025.

Moreover, as the GCC has been intensifying focus on research, innovation, and STEM education, turnkey laboratory
furniture solutions have become increasingly critical. In response, Centena’s strategic investments in 2024 enabled

its subsidiary LABSPACE to expand its manufacturing facility in Umm Al Quwain, significantly boosting capacity
to meet the rising regional demand for laboratory infrastructure and enhancing production capabilities to deliver

high-quality, scalable solutions tailored to educational and research institutions across the GCC and beyond.

The adoption of AI and biometric technology in the business also helped ScreenCheck, Centena’s security and
identification business unit, to maintain its leadership position as the value-added distributor in the region, especially

as intelligent identity management and secure access solutions across government, enterprise, and critical
infrastructure have become more prevalent.

The group also strengthened its position in the marine technology sector, where EDGE, under Centena’s Maritronics

division, secured Lloyd’s Register (LR) Type Approval certification for its Fibre Optic Gyro solution, an
achievement that elevates its global standing. With maritime industries worldwide embracing precision navigation
and safety technologies to meet stringent regulatory standards and operational demands, EDGE’s certified solutions

provide a competitive edge for engineering excellence and innovation.

Furthermore, strategic partnerships in 2024, notably Emphor DLAS, the life, analytical, and material testing
solutions division, becoming the authorised distributor for PerkinElmer across the UAE and Qatar, reinforced the

company’s leadership in delivering advanced analytical technologies to the pharmaceutical, healthcare, food safety,
and environmental sectors. In parallel, the company’s material testing solutions business also saw substantial

growth. Additionally, Emphor DLAS strengthened its presence in the aviation industry, supporting airlines and
MRO providers with preventive maintenance, component lifespan assessment, and adherence to global aviation

safety regulations.

With the region undergoing a rapid transformation, fuelled by digital adoption and industrial innovation, Centena
Group continues to play a key role in supporting sustainable development and enriching the quality of people’s
lives through its innovative solutions across its multiple divisions.
