EIIC will invest Dhs350m in the wire and cable factory in Algiers, Algeria, with an expected completion date in 2009.

Mr. Omar Younis, Electrocab's General Manager, said 'The factory is to meet the increasing demand for power and building wire cables in the Algerian and Western Arab markets. The Algerian wire and cable factory is a direct result of the success of the Abu Dhabi facility, which has also led us to construct the magnet wire factory in Industrial City, Abu Dhabi as well.'

Mr. Younis explained the product range will include low, medium and high voltage cables in copper and aluminum that adhere to best international standards.

The factory will be built on a 10 hectare site and will encompass manufacturing, distribution and management facilities. Production will commence in mid 2008 at a primary annual level of 40,000 tons of copper and 7,000 tons of aluminum, and increase in the future. Mr. Younis insists quality in all its aspects is the priority for EIIC and has created a team of experienced cable professionals with the responsibility to ensure that all finished products satisfy international requirements. Top quality machinery has been sourced from Europe's leading suppliers.

EIIC owns investments in many sectors, including banking, industry and commerce which in a short time, has created many unique and innovative projects.
