Technology demands and AI investments power Centena Group’s strong regional performance | UAE News 24/7
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.
