On 1 January 2012, our new office in Cairo will open. After the training sessions in Usingen, the local office will be supported during the first few weeks by experienced Jarltech employees.

If you watch TV these days, Cairo would not appear to be the ideal place to send any employees currently. I was recently there, and did not feel the least bit hindered in my work. Our Country Manager, and Egyptian, sees the situation much calmer than the European TV is making it out to be. Even the managers who planned to fly to Cairo looked forward to the trip. However, we cannot do this. Take merely the fact that the employees' families will worry each time they watch the TV.

I ask that you see past the mistrust: I personally see a large market for us, which Jarltech has invested in and will stand behind. I also believe that Cairo is safe for anyone who speaks the language, who knows the city, who has friends and who understands religions and customs. Flying down in the morning and back the same evening is no big deal, but for a longer stay, it is difficult for an outsider to effectively judge the situation. If something should happen, I would not want to be held responsible.

(P.S.: The next training sessions will be held in Dubai.)
