Emirates Extrusions builds new production facility in Dubai Investments Park

The new extrusion plant will house four high-capacity production lines and will feature the latest technologies in aluminium extrusion. Also up for construction is a new powder coating plant that is set to improve Emirates Extrusions' production capacity by more than two tons per hour.

'The construction sector has grown exponentially and this has created a direct impact on the demand for extruded aluminium profiles. Emirates Extrusions acted accordingly to cope with the increase in demand by developing strategies to improve production by 12 percent in 2006 compared to the previous year,' said Khalfan Al Suwaidi, General Manager, Emirates Extrusions Factory.

'Our expansion program enters a new phase with the construction of a new production plant at the Dubai Investments Park, which will boost our capacity and enhance the range of our finishes to satisfy the diversifying preferences of our customers,'

added Al Suwaidi.

The new plant will be constructed on a 42,000-square meter plot with about 29,470 square meters allocated for offices and the warehouse, which will accommodate the production lines.

By upgrading and increasing its production facility, Emirates Extrusion looks to satisfy not only the booming construction market of the UAE, but also other high-development areas such as Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain. Emirates Extrusion is also increasing its market presence in East African countries such as Djibouti, Eritrea and Ethiopia, which are experiencing an increase in demand for extruded aluminium profiles following government-led investments and development initiatives.

Since its establishment in 1993, Emirates Extrusions has been offering an impressive range of premium-quality, energy-saving extruded aluminum profiles as part of its continuing strategy to consolidate its presence in the global market. The company's offerings, which include systems for windows and doors, curtain wall, structural glazing, partition and hand rail, are manufactured in conformity with ISO 9001 standards, certifying the company is adopting consistent processes for production of quality products.
