COUNTERFEITING: EMIRATES AT THE FOREFRONT IN THE BATTLE AGAINST CHINESE COUNTERFEITERS

21/11/2014

Other heavy blows to importers and new seizures of illegal Pedrollo pumps in collaboration with the police forces of the United Arab Emirates again confirm the latter at the forefront in the campaign conducted by our company against counterfeiting. The focus is on companies suspected by local authorities to lead behind the scenes trafficking of counterfeit products. Control over the territory continues either directly and with the support of the Police Special Secret service.

In recent weeks news on the discovery and seizure of numerous pumps have remarkably grown in number: in total, since the very beginning of 2013, more than 1200 forged Pedrollo pumps - always the CPm158 model, one of the hardest hit - were found in warehouses, depots or during transport. Since the beginning of 2011 to present the total of seized counterfeit pumps in the UAE has exceeded 40,000 units, a huge number that shows the dramatic situation companies like ours must deal with. Companies whose main goals are quality and reliability. As a result of this tireless fight, led by Joseph Gomes of the branch in Dubai,many other importers and traders involved in the sale of counterfeit pumps have been identified and reported.
