Eastablished as Farnek Middle East in 1980, the company is part of Zurick-based Priora Group, an international full service property management company.

Farnek Avireal has won maintenance contract together with its international partners, for the tallest building in the world, Burj Khalifa.

This achievement combined with its strategic client partnerships with a wide variety of industry leaders in the UAE solidifies its role as one of the leading FM companies. The company has offices in most cities of the UAE.

With a skilled workforce of more than 2,500 people, Farnek maintains over 2,500 properties on behalf of international and regional companies. The company believes in sustainability and is a member of the US Green Building Council, has exclusivity with international organisations such as Green Globe and myclimate and has already been presented with the prestigious Emir- ates Energy award for producing the Middle East’s first hotel energy consumption benchmark survey. CEO, Markus Oberlin, highlighted the need for green and sustainable FM solutions within Hospitals at this year’s Building Healthcare Middle East Exhibition, held at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre (DICEC).

He said: “Incorporating sustain- able design in hospitals can reduce not only its overall carbon emissions, but also its utility bills can be significantly reduced, in some cases by as much as 20%. Imagine making those sort of savings when your total annual healthcare budget is US$56 billion?”
