Dubai Investments has announced plans to double the production capacity of its subsidiary Emirates Float Glass (EFG), marking a major step in the UAE’s push toward advanced, sustainable manufacturing.
The company will add a second production line that increases daily output from 600 tonnes to 1,200 tonnes and introduces Ultra Clear low-iron glass, a first-of-its-kind product in the MENA region known for its superior clarity and color accuracy.
Scheduled to begin operations between late 2027 and early 2028, the new facility will feature advanced automation, energy-efficient systems, and next-generation process controls aimed at ensuring consistent quality and reducing environmental impact.
Abdulaziz Bin Yakub Al Serkal, CEO – Industrial Platform at Dubai Investments, said the project represents a pivotal move for the regional glass industry. He noted that the new line will strengthen the UAE’s position as a center for advanced manufacturing and support Dubai Investments’ long-term industrial growth strategy.
The expansion will enable EFG to meet increasing demand from sectors including construction, infrastructure, and design, while creating new opportunities in international markets. The company aims to position itself as a key regional supplier of high-performance glass for premium applications.
The project is being executed in collaboration with HORN Glass Industries of Germany, which will supply the glass melting furnaces and related systems. A UAE-based civil works contractor and an international contract administration firm will also contribute to project execution and oversight, ensuring world-class delivery standards.
