Ducab Metals Business (DMB), a subsidiary of Ducab Group, announced today the doubling of its annual production capacity for aluminium from 55,000tpa to 110,000tpa and increased its bare copper product capacity in response to surging global demand for these UAE-manufactured products.
This expansion strengthens DMB’s position in the international metals market and advances the UAE’s Operation 300bn industrial strategy, promoting economic diversification and solidifying the country’s leadership in high-quality, innovative industrial manufacturing.
The announcement was made at the ‘Ducab Metals Business Expansion Forum: Advancing Capacity, Driving Innovation,’ held in partnership with Middle East Economic Digest (MEED).
Ambitious goals
The event gathered leading figures from industry, government, and academia to discuss the future of the UAE’s industrial sector and the critical steps needed to achieve the ambitious goals of Operation 300bn. The forum also highlighted DMB’s latest advancements in innovation and sustainability, including its pioneering work in developing green aluminium.
Key attendees included Ducab Group CEO Mohammed Almutawa; DMB CEO Mohamed Al Ahmedi, and representatives from the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology, Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi – KEZAD Group, and the Abu Dhabi Investment Office.
Meeting demand
“At Ducab, this expansion enhances our ability to meet international demand, elevates the ‘Made in the Emirates’ brand, and boosts our global competitiveness, all while supporting sustainable business growth and strengthening industrial resilience,” commented Almutawa.
“Doubling our aluminium production and expanding our copper capabilities reflects our dedication to strengthening the UAE’s industrial sector. By adopting advanced, sustainable technologies and pioneering new industrial solutions, we continue to lead in industrial and technological advancement,” remarked Al Ahmedi.
This recent enlargement of DMB’s facilities at KEZAD Group, which increased the total space by 51,015sqm, along with the strategic acquisition of GIC Magnet—a leading global supplier of paper-insulated aluminum strips—underscores DMB’s role as a key manufacturing hub.
