Alumco has announced the start of its new Dh55 million glass processing factory in Dubai Investments Park.

The plant, built on a total area of 10,000 square metres, is furnished with state of the art machineries.

With this opening Alumco now has a daily total production capacity of 2,000 square metres insulated glass per day and 1,000 square meters of frameless glass.

Allumco is a specialised aluminium façade contractor and major glass manufacturer.
 
Alumco managing director Samer Barakat said: “The opening of this factory will further consolidate the company’s status as a leading provider of premium quality products and world class services.

“We are sure that the new glass factory will give a significant momentum to our operations and expanding our business scope.”

Alumco executive manager Haitham Al Khatib said:

“The factory will be operating with the state of the art glass processing machinery, which includes a Lisec cutting line, glass edging line, a Tamglass tempering and insulating line,  a lamination line and an automatic silk screen machine.

“We are currently undergoing studies to further expand our production capacity.”

The Lisec cutting line which can produce 4,000 square meters daily is mainly a robotic cutting line that can handle Jumbo size stock sheets of 6000 x 3300 mm.

The Tamglass tempering line (Pro E) which has a total daily capacity of 2,000 square meters can heat treat the sputter coated low E glass and all types of special coatings, with convection and radiation methods, it can heat treat a glass panel up to 6000 x 2800 mm.

The Lisec double glazing unit is a fully automatic line that can produce insulating glass units of 3500 x 2700 mm or larger, and has a daily production capacity of 2000 square meters.  This line is a fully automatic line equipped with a robotic sealant and an edge deletion machine for the sputter coated low E glass. The factory is also fitted with state of the art polishing machines.

“With billions of dollars worth of real estate projects currently coming up in the UAE and the region, we see tremendous potential for expanding our business,” said Barakat.

“The UAE last year witnessed more than $300 billion worth of active real estate projects, mostly in Dubai and Abu Dhabi and other Emirates.

“As we have already become an established player, we see spontaneous growth in the following years.”

Among other factors that indicate favourable growth trends for the property sector is mortgage financing, which in the UAE shows at least a 50% year on year growth. This is a key growth factor to the real estate market which in turn will increase demand on our products, said Barakat
