Powering Progress Together: How Hoppecke and Dahbashi Are Energizing the Middle East
The Middle East is undergoing a power transformation—from critical infrastructure to emerging data centre hubs—and at the heart of this energy evolution is a powerful partnership between Hoppecke Batteries and Dahbashi Engineering.
Hoppecke & Dahbashi Engineering’s partnership dates back almost two decades, creating a common vision of quality and reliability across the Reserve Power and Trak market sector in the Middle East. More recently the partnership has developed further afield in markets such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait, whilst recognizing the need for a partner with deep local expertise and technical strength across the region.
“As Hoppecke We have always looked for long-term partnerships. Dahbashi Engineering have proven to be one of the strongest for us in the region,” said Michael Entrup, Board Member of Hoppecke Batteries and Managing Director of their Grid and Sun division.
Today, Dahbashi covers not just the UAE but a wider geography, serving as the regional hub for Hoppecke’s industrial battery systems. Their cooperation spans sectors—from utilities and oil & gas to telecom and data centres—delivering both premium battery technology and high-quality local service.
A Market in Transition
The Middle East’s infrastructure demands are shifting rapidly. While traditional power and utility demand still dominate for traditional Hoppecke Battery technology, new requirements are emerging in sectors like such as hyperscale data centres, which demand advanced, high-resilience energy storage. Hoppecke’s latest solution, the “Xtreme” battery system—developed in Europe and utilized by global Data Centre operators and UPS OEM’s alike, is proving to be a future growth market sector for Hoppecke and Dahashi Engineering.
When such systems need to be deployed and serviced in the Arabian Gulf, it’s Dahbashi that steps in—managing everything from installation to long-term maintenance.
Existing Hoppecke customers can now rest assured that we have the capabilities in the region to support these systems locally? That’s where Dahbashi Engineering is the perfect partner. Their ability to deliver on-ground service gives us a competitive edge,” Entrup added.
Beyond Products: A Service-Driven Relationship
This partnership goes well beyond product distribution. When large-scale projects—like water desalination plants—require both robust energy systems and dependable support, Hoppecke and Dahbashi deliver as a team. By offering full lifecycle services, including aftersales and site maintenance, Dahbashi enables Hoppecke to meet demanding client requirements while enhancing local value.
This synergy has also translated into greater revenue opportunities and margin growth for both companies—an example of how strategic collaboration can unlock long-term success.
A Model for Industrial Partnerships
Frequent communication between the two teams—often on a weekly or even daily basis—ensures that both parties stay aligned on strategy, execution, and customer needs. The result? A highly stable, effective partnership that’s powering not just equipment, but trust and progress across the region.
As the Middle East continues its drive toward resilient, high-performance infrastructure, the relationship between Hoppecke and Dahbashi stands as a benchmark for how global technology providers and regional engineering experts can build value—together.
