Managing Director’s Message

Managing Director’s Message

When I took on the mantle of becoming Orion’s Managing Director five years ago, I decided to change the focus of the business to System Integration and developing our own unique Airport Solutions. In that time, we have grown into one of the leading Security System Integrators in the United Arab Emirates and have an ICT & Audio-Visual System Integration division that goes from strength to strength. In 2019 we were recognized by Huawei for an outstanding achievement award. Our success has also been recognised by the World’s leading security manufacturer, Axis Communications who awarded us Partner of Year for Middle East and Africa, on top of this we have become a Milestone Systems Platinum Partner and were awarded an exceptional performance award by Hanwha (Samsung) Techwin in 2019.

Our own Orion developed Airport Solutions are now deployed around the world Canada, UK, Turkey, Bahrain, Kuwait, New Zealand and Denmark. The division has successfully delivered a Smart Washroom Solution for Dubai Airports, the busiest airport in the world, a ground-breaking CheckIn Ai solution for Auckland Airport and our BHS 360 solution for multiple airports around the world.

I am excited for what the future holds for Orion and firmly believe that we will continue to innovate, build strong IP base that enables us to inspire our clients and achieve our goal of achieving our vision:
“To become the technology provider of choice for IT & Security solutions and services, delivering premium projects and shaping the future with emerging and innovative, integrated technologies.”
