Danube Group, a leading construction and building material company in the region, said its 1.3 million sq ft factory project at Dubai TechnoPark was moving ahead full steam and was to start operation early next year.

The upcoming Danube’s industrial complex comprises manufacturing facilities and a massive custom designed warehouse to store its wide range of structural steel and wood products.

The seven specialized manufacturing facilities include Melamine MDF Pressing Plant; Impregnation and Décor Plyline Facility; Gypsum Tile Cutting Plant; Gypsum Ceiling Tile Manufacturing Plant; Gypsum Board Stud and Track Plant; Glass Tempering and Polishing Plant and Aluminum Profile Manufacturing Plant.

The company is said to be investing more than Dh50 million ($8.16 million) on the project. The new facility, to be completed in phases, will be functional by early 2011.

The upcoming industrial complex will support Danube’s expansion plan in the coming years, said a top official.

Rizwan Sajan, chairman of Danube Building Materials said the new manufacturing facility in TechnoPark demonstrates its commitment to the customers in the Middle East.

"In the last five years Danube has demonstrated robust growth and the company will continue on the same growth trajectory and meet increasing regional demand. In addition to increasing our manufacturing capabilities we also intend to expand our retail presence in the region and have planned 7 ‘Build-Marts’ in 2010," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
