Commenting on the joint venture, Mr. V. K. Bafna, Managing Director of TCR Engineering said, "The new company represents a major opportunity for TCR to expand capabilities and capacity in the Middle-East material testing and quality assurance market. There are many synergies to exploit between the services currently offered by TCR Engineering in India and those provided by TCR-ATSCO in Kuwait."

Mr. Lafi Al-Mutari is the Managing Director of TCR-ATSCO while the laboratory operations are handled by Mr. Amit Bafna as General Manager.
