ALEC FITOUT makes long-term investment in UAE-based manufacturing and advanced production capability

New 7,500sqm bespoke fabrication facility in Ras Al Khaimah is set to create over 200 specialist jobs

ALEC FITOUT has inaugurated its advanced manufacturing facility in Ras Al Khaimah, significantly expanding its ability to locally produce everything from custom-made furniture, doors and wall panelling to decorative elements and immersive installations for hotels and ultra-prime branded residences.

Spanning 7,500sqm, the facility has created more than 200 specialist jobs across design, production, engineering and skilled craft disciplines.

Aligned with the objectives of the UAE’s ‘Make it in the Emirates’ initiative, the investment strengthens the local industrial capability, supports a more resilient regional supply chain and provides the production capacity required to serve ALEC FITOUT’s growing pipeline of complex projects across the UAE, Saudi Arabia and wider region.

Benchmark-setting

ALEC FITOUT’s delivery of major fit-out works for this benchmark-setting destination calls for exceptional scale, precision and consistency, providing a powerful example of the advanced project requirements the new facility has been established to meet.

This is supported by 24 advanced machines spanning the complete production chain, including CNC machining, precision cutting, timber profiling, veneer pressing and specialist finishing systems, alongside a dedicated metalworks section with laser cutting, bending, drilling and welding capabilities.

3D printing capabilities

Among the facility’s most distinctive features is its 3D-printing capabilities. The technology enables the creation of highly customised mock-ups, exhibition elements, feature installations and specialist fit-out components with exceptional precision and speed.

“Bringing 3D printing, advanced joinery, metalworks and specialist finishing together under one roof gives ALEC FITOUT a unique regional capability and enables us to deliver the level of craftsmanship, precision and innovation for which the UAE continually strives,” affirmed Laurent Farge, Managing Director, ALEC FITOUT.
