Hormann, one of the world’s largest producers of industrial, commercial and residential doors, celebrated the company’s 10 years of operations in the Middle East with the opening of a new 4,800-sq-m production line at Jafza in Dubai.

With a capacity to produce 35,000 doors a year, the new facility will redefine Hormann’s operations in the region, said a statement from the company.

Jafza CEO Muhammed Al Muallem officially opened the production line in the presence of Martin Hormann, the managing partner of Hormann; Darius Khanloo, the director of Middle East and Africa, Hormann Middle East and Africa and other senior officials, it stated.

The German company said the new factory will serve the demand from all GCC countries and Africa. It will also enable Hormann to customise doors for regional customers promptly.

In the last 10 years of operations in the region, Hormann said it had provided its products and services to many prestigious projects such as Bvlgari Hotel (Dubai), Louvre Museum (Abu Dhabi), showrooms of Lamborghini, Porsche and BMW in Dubai, and those of Nissan (Sharjah), Lexus (Ras Al Khaimah) and Jeep (Abu Dhabi), Coca Cola (Riyadh), Mars Chocolate Factory (Dubai), Royal Clock Tower (Makka) and Porsche Showroom (Nairobi).

"With the opening of our new production facility, we will now have more flexibility with delivery time, it usually takes six weeks if ordered directly from Germany and now it will only take about a week," remarked Hormann.

"Our Jafza factory can produce hinged doors, such as fire-rated doors, security doors, internal doors and multi-purpose doors, all based on German standards. Our doors meet the requirements of regional Civil Defense authorities as safety of our customers is very important to us," he noted.

"All Hörmann factories employ the most advanced technology. Microprocessor-controlled machinery guarantees the accuracy of all of the production processes, while stringent in-house monitoring ensures consistently high product quality," he explained.

"With Hormann fire-rated doors, customers are assured of decades of quality, protection and safety. Offering both exquisite appearance and optimum fire protection Hormann doors are used in industrial and public buildings, villas, apartment compounds, hospitals and at airports," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
