CALGARY, Canada, November 9 /PRNewswire/ -- MatrikonOPC(TM), the world's largest supplier of OPC connectivity products, has recently expanded its global footprint by adding a new regional office in Bahrain.

Building close relationships with our customers allows a true understanding of their business and helps realize the full potential of their operations from a technical and business perspective.

We take great pride in our customer service. To better serve our clients in the Middle East we knew we needed to have a local presence, said Sean Leonard, Vice President of MatrikonOPC. We've been doing business in this region for many years now, but with a local office we are able to reinforce and strengthen our existing ties in the Middle East, adds Leonard.

By opening this regional office, MatrikonOPC is better placed to achieve its objectives of creating a global reach and a local presence for MatrikonOPC and its technologies.

The Middle East regional office will give current and perspective clients better access to MatrikonOPC's products, services, customer support and training programs.

A local workshop has already been scheduled for November 16-18 in Muharraq Town, Kingdom of Bahrain. To register please visit http://www.opctraining.com
