Beta LaserMike, a leading global
provider of precision measurement and
control solutions, has completed the
acquisition of the trade and assets of
DCM Industries Inc, a privately held
US company located in Hayward,
California, and a leading provider of

services are well respected throughout
the wire and cable industry. The
acquisition of the company’s cable
testing products not only complements
and enhances our solutions portfolio,
but it allows us to better serve our
valued customers and compete in the
growing measurement, testing, and
controls market.
“In simple terms, wire and cable
customers now have a single source
provider for all their production
measurement, testing, and control
needs.”

In January Sikora established the
Sikora Middle East office, based in
Dubai, UAE. The office supports
customers in service as well as sales
questions.
In 2008 Sikora opened a service
bureau in Cairo, Egypt, to serve
customers in the Arabic region but due
to the continued political tension in
that region the headquarters has been
moved to Dubai. Head of Sikora
Middle East is Karim El Nahas, who
has also made the move from Cairo.
The office in Dubai offers Sikora the
opportunity to fulfil the increasing
demands of Arabic customers with
individual service and reliable
customer support.
Customers receive service from 11
Sikora offices worldwide to assure a
quick and reliable customer service.
They work together with more than 30
regional representatives worldwide.
