Technology demands and AI investments power Centena Group’s strong regional performance - Dubai Magazine
led initiatives, increased support for STEAM education, and rising demand for robotics

and artificial intelligence (AI)-based learning tools enabled Centena’s education division,

ATLAB, to achieve a remarkable 60 per cent growth rate.

Additionally, strategic expansions, investments in AI, and developments across key

verticals, including marine, industrial process solutions, identification and security, and

laboratory furniture manufacturing, have significantly boosted revenue and the Group’s

project delivery capabilities.

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.
