Dubai: Dubai Investments, a prominent investment company listed on the Dubai Financial Market, has announced plans to double the manufacturing capacity at its wholly owned subsidiary, Emirates Float Glass (EFG), by introducing a second production line.
According to Emirates News Agency, the new line will enhance EFG’s production capacity from 600 tonnes to 1,200 tonnes per day. It will also introduce Ultra Clear low-iron glass, a pioneering feature in the MENA region, expected to set new benchmarks in clarity, color accuracy, and quality.
The additional production line is scheduled to be operational between late 2027 and early 2028. It will incorporate advanced automation and energy-efficient systems, along with next-generation process controls to ensure consistent quality, reliability, and reduced energy consumption. The line’s design prioritizes minimizing environmental impact and optimizing energy efficiency, reflecting Dubai Investments’ commitment to sustainable industrial growth.
Abdulaziz Bin Yakub Al Serkal, CEO of the Industrial Platform at Dubai Investments, stated that the development of EFG’s second float line is a pivotal move for the regional glass industry. By doubling production capacity and introducing Ultra Clear glass, EFG aims to strengthen the UAE’s position as a hub for advanced manufacturing. This expansion showcases EFG’s dedication to technology-driven products and sustainable growth, allowing the company to diversify into premium segments in construction, infrastructure, and design, while supporting Dubai Investments’ long-term industrial growth strategy.
The new facility will enable EFG to meet increasing demand from various sectors and create significant opportunities in regional and international markets. The advanced production capabilities will reinforce EFG’s standing as a regional leader in high-performance glass and a trusted supplier to international markets seeking premium-quality, innovative products.
The initiative is being executed in collaboration with HORN Glass Industries of Germany, a globally recognized technology provider and the chosen supplier of glass melting furnaces and associated systems. The project will also involve a UAE-based civil works contractor and an international contract administration firm to ensure high standards of project delivery and oversight.
