Egypt: A connection for the new town of Galala enhanced by POMA
The Egyptian state has entrusted Galala operation to hotel group TOLIP. As it is unfamiliar with cable car transportation, it asked POMA and decided with no hesitation to commission POMA to provide the O&M, as the cable car installer.
POMA EGYPT is proud to add TOLIP to its loyal customers list. In addition to operation and maintenance service, POMA assists TOLIP in the discovery and the development of his new business. This includes making additional investments during this year with the aims of increasing passenger number and making the cable car an icon of Galala city.

Among these investments, implementing activities such as mountain biking or the Agility Park will contribute to promotion of the whole Galala project and carry a large proportion of customers, with the cable car as a centerpiece (bike tracks, zip line, lookout platform, shops, restaurants and more.

A 34-person qualified team dedicated to all types of operations and maintenance, which also provides training support for POMA sides worldwide, is one of the benefits that speak for a service contract with POMA, according to Akil.
