Emirates Glass partners wins Dhs20m worth of projects in Turkey

Emirates Glass has inked a partnership with property investment and development major Feryapi on a portfolio of prestigious projects.

While work has already commenced on the I-Tower and East and West developments, the other projects that will utilise EGL's self-cleaning glass include the HAMP, Gold Tower, Nida Tower, and Gursan. Emirates Glass aims to complete the delivery of glass for these projects by the last quarter of 2012.

Ziad Yazbeck, Senior Vice-President, Sales and Marketing, Glass LLC, said: "The construction market in the region is picking up pace once again, driving the demand for high quality glass. The trend is particularly evident in Turkey, which is validated by our win of key purchase orders for projects that are poised to set new industry benchmarks in the country.

"We also welcome our partnership with industry leaders Feryapi. We are confident that the synergy will help us establish a strong foothold for Emirates Glass in Turkey. The endorsement from this market has also taken us a step forward in our vision to grow as the largest glass manufacturer in the region."

With several efficient and sophisticated production units, Emirates Glass can handle large orders within short deadlines. Earlier this year, Emirates Glass inaugurated a Dhs160m state-of-the-art coating line to escalate production capacity to over 3.5m square metres.

Additionally in 2011, the company launched the advanced VitroGlaze, an eco-friendly glass with a chemically treated surface that keeps away dirt and grime. Such developments establish the firm as a pioneer in adopting technological innovations, making it a preferred option for most buyers.

Emirates Glass can manufacture, according to the strictest standards in the glass production and processing industry, a wide range of high-performance, energy-efficient glass types with high selectivity ratios.

The company is also dedicated to supporting eco-friendly construction and sustainable development to meet the challenges of green building principles.
