Strategic Partnership with Hytec for the UAE.
We are thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with Hytec — a significant milestone in our
journey to deliver world-class waste-management solutions across the UAE and the broader region.
By combining RAFCO's high-quality manufacturing expertise — specifically our signature double skip
loaders — with Hytec's exceptional technical know-how and local support, we are setting a new
standard for efficiency in the municipal-equipment sector. We look forward to a successful
collaboration with Mr. Jan Hooftman and the entire team as we work together to strengthen urban
infrastructure and environmental services.
