Thomsun Electronics to set up Dh10 million plant in Dubai Investments Park

The agreement was signed in the presence of Mr. Khalid Al Kamda, Chairman of Dubai Investments Park Development Company, Mr. Khalid bin Khalban, Managing Director of the Park, and Thomsun Group Directors Mr. K. V. Thomas, Mr. V. T. John and Mr. P. Shrinivas.

At its plant in the DIP, Thomsun Electronics will manufacture metal cable management systems, sheet metal ducts for air-conditioners and sheet metal enclosures for control panels, which will be useful for a wide spectrum of industrial products like patch panels, data network management systems, under floor trunking, air-conditioning ducts and control panel enclosures.

Speaking after signing the agreement, Mr. Al Kamda said: "We consider the joining of Thomsun Electronics in the Dubai Investments Park as a step forward to the completion of the industrial, trade and residential sectors, which form the core values of the project."

He added that the UAE and the local market is in need of a specialised product in the electronics and electro-mechanical sector and this is where Thomsun Electronics has carved a niche for itself. This, coupled with its decision to have a manufacturing unit at DIP, will go a long way in further enhancing the profile of the Park, Mr. Al Kamda said.

The Group has a wide presence in a vast array of sectors including consumer electronics trading, audio-visuals, electro-mechanical products, printing, logistics, food and furniture.

Mr. K. V. Thomas, Director of Thomsun Group, said: "Our Group is proud to be part of the Dubai Investments Park and we will be setting up a Dh10 million manufacturing unit in the Park. The professional approach by DIP, its faster service records, coupled with fully developed industrial plot has contributed in a major way in our decision to be a part of the Park."

Elaborating further, Mr. Thomas said: "DIP's flexibility in working arrangements and the easily accessibility to Dubai, Al Ain and Abu Dhabi by road and proximity to Jebel Ali port has only helped matters as it is an ideal location for developed projects in New Dubai. Around 50 of our employees will be deployed at the manufacturing unit in the first phase."
