We are looking forward to being able to, for the first time in Egypt, give this influential territory the focus it deserves.”
Bahnasy adds: “We are extremely excited to be appointed Ayrton’s exclusive distributor in Egypt. Egypt is witnessing a significant sustainable development in various fields, especially in economics, architecture, culture and arts. This development has revolutionised the entertainment and leisure industry in the Egyptian market, as a result of which Q-Light has been able to add huge value to the region with Ayrton’s products which guarantee creativity, dependability, and incomparability. In the last couple of years, Ayrton has made huge improvements that have convinced lighting consultants and engineers to use Ayrton’s unique products in their projects. They are ready and waiting to see these new products in the Egyptian market now.”
