Danube Building Materials announces Dhs. 17 million expansion in Jebel Ali

The company has acquired a 350,000 sq. ft. plot in south Jebel Ali to set up the kiln dry wood facility that will provide customers better quality of dry raw materials in a shorter time-frame. The facility will also house a state-of-the-art Warehouse cum Distribution Centre.

"The growing demand for wood has created a perennial shortage of kiln dry wood," said Mr. Rizwan Sajan. "We are strongly committed to the development of infrastructure that will enhance product quality. We have therefore invested in the best available technology for this project. When commissioned, the facility will substantially increase the availability of good quality dry wood in Dubai."

"Our existing factory, Danube Dekor, located in Jebel Ali, has received tremendous response because of the value-added services we offer to customers. Further, our participation in various exhibitions in the region has boosted interest in our products," Mr. Sajan added.

This has translated into actual orders that have impacted the business volumes. The number of employees has swelled to 400, a 30 % growth over the past year.

Danube, one of the largest building materials company, has an extensive geographical reach. The newly established doors factory, Danube Doors, located in Al Quoz, Dubai, is negotiating some important tower projects. Together with Danube Dekor and the trading arm, Danube is set to consolidate its market leadership, driven by commitment to quality and innovation.

Danube is the biggest building materials company in Jebel Ali with branches in Dubai, Deira, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Muscat and Mabella, with a stock of over 10,000 items.
