Ducab Metals Business (DMB), a subsidiary of the Ducab Group, has announced the doubling of its aluminium production capacity from 55,000 to 110,000 tonnes annually, alongside an expansion in its bare copper product output.
This development is in response to surging global demand for UAE-manufactured metal products and is a significant step towards strengthening the UAE’s industrial capabilities.
The expansion aligns with the UAE's Operation 300bn, an industrial strategy aimed at economic diversification and advancing the country's leadership in high-quality manufacturing. The announcement was made at the Ducab Metals Business Expansion Forum, held in partnership with the Middle East Economic Digest (MEED). Industry leaders, government officials, and academic experts attended the event, which focused on the future of the UAE’s industrial sector and its ambitious goals.
Mohammed Almutawa, CEO of Ducab Group, highlighted the importance of the expansion, stating,
“This investment enhances our global competitiveness while supporting sustainable growth, ultimately boosting the 'Made in the Emirates' brand."
DMB's CEO, Mohamed Al Ahmedi, also noted that the increased production capacity positions DMB as a global leader in metal manufacturing, driving innovation and sustainable industrial practices.
The expansion of DMB’s facilities at KEZAD Group, including the acquisition of GIC Magnet, further solidifies its role in serving sectors like healthcare, automotive, and packaging, expanding its reach across international markets.
