Additional production capacity to boost Jafza-based NAFFCO's annual growth

The substantial annual growth the company had achieved in 2008— Dhs613m compared to Dhs448m in 2007— it attributes to its leadership in the manufacture of high-quality fire-fighting equipment as well as diversification in 2007 into the passive fire protection arena.

A specialist in the field of automation and control for fire alarm and security systems, NAFFCO is expanding its operational capacity further with the new one million square feet central manufacturing facility in Jafza, which will be fully functional before the end of this year. Since the new facility will be doubling its current production capacity, the company, with its presence in 78 countries across the world, is fully geared to maintain its lead in providing comprehensive and reliable fire protection solutions and services.

Established in 1991 in Jafza, NAFFCO's current 274,000 square feet facility in the free zone includes NAFFCO global headquarters, its state-of-the-art manufacturing and storage facility and its regional office. The company's business is focused on design, manufacturing, supply, installation and maintenance services of products including firefighting equipment and highly sophisticated fire trucks. Almost 75 per cent of its production is being exported to the Middle East, Europe and Africa.
