## Who is IRE?
Started in the mid-'90s, IRE is based in Jebel Ali Free Zone in Dubai and has over 30 years experience, specializing in the purchasing and supplying of [innovative solutions](https://www.keystoneenergytools.com/what-are-rig-tongs-used-for/) for the [international upstream](https://www.keystoneenergytools.com/us-drilling-rig-locations/)[oil and gas industry](https://info.stonewallco.com/blog/gulf-of-mexico-shallow-water-production-could-boom-in-early-2020).
They are highly focused on providing superior quality products at competitive prices while offering premium customer-focused service.
They have [high-level partnerships with their manufacturers](https://irefze.com/partners/)that goes way beyond the distribution element; They act as an extension of their manufacturer's business and carefully select who they represent.
## What are IRE's Goals For Their Service Offering?
Their goal is to help their clients enhance productivity and performance by being hands-on and working alongside yard and project teams when required.
This adds not only operational but also financial advantages to the business.
While they offer their own after-sales service consisting of extremely skilled and knowledgeable personnel who are product experts, they are also strongly backed by their manufacturers through inventory, engineering and training support.
### Their philosophy is simple
To partner with leading manufacturers focused on innovation, [provide quality equipment](https://info.keystoneenergytools.com/blog/say-hello-to-keystones-drill-pipe-elevators) at competitive prices and deliver exceptional customer service through close collaboration with our clients.
They act not only as a stockist and distributor, but provide industry expertise and dynamic solutions through our skilled and knowledgeable personnel to a diverse customer base through the GCC.
Knowing this, [IRE](https://info.irefze.com/news/10-things-learned-from-doing-business-with-hi-kalibre-in-10-years) has established close partnerships with several manufacturers such as [Hi-Kalibre Equipment](https://www.hikalibre.com/); Keystone Energy Tools; [HUWE](http://www.huwewrench.com/); [PPC](https://www.pulsationcontrol.com/); [Mud King Products](http://mudkingproducts.com/)etc.
## What Separates IRE From Competitors?
The company’s approach to ‘going the extra mile’ seeks to [provide innovative products](https://irefze.com/handling-tools/) and services to the energy sector that offer unparalleled value in three key areas: HSE, Cost Control and Productivity.
This is IRE’s main point of difference when compared to its competitors, providing unprecedented value opportunities on which it has built its success.
## The Synergy Between Keystone and IRE
We are thankful and supportive of our loyal partnership with [IRE](https://www.linkedin.com/company/ir%26e-trading-llc/). [IRE](https://www.facebook.com/iretrading)was awarded as an exclusive distributor for the Middle East in 2016.
### Long-Lasting Relationships
This partnership manifested due to the long-lasting relationship between Dan Asher Sr. and Joe Ramey dating back to the early 1980s.
Joe and Dan were business associates, both with a foothold in buying and selling of [oil and gas equipment](https://www.keystoneenergytools.com/5-most-important-oilfield-tools/).
Joe was the owner of Access Oil Tools and Dan Sr. owned Cansco. Dan Asher Jr. would later contact Joe desiring to represent [KET's products](https://www.keystoneenergytools.com/handling-tools/bowls-slips/)throughout the Middle East.
### Honoring Close-knitted Friendships
IRE has stayed true to their word, as well as honoring the close-knitted friendship between Joe and Dan Sr., to supply [KET tools](https://www.keystoneenergytools.com/handling-tools/elevators/) and to make them readily available in the region.
Due to this relationship, we can support and equip companies in this region with [high-grade equipment.](https://www.keystoneenergytools.com/handling-tools/safety-clamps/)
