products for the electrical supply chain, optimizing local resources in line with the Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030. Moreover, the new company will substitute substantial imports of aluminium rods and overhead lines into the UAE, and help build a competitive edge for ‘Made-in-UAE’ industrial products,” says Al Dhaheri. The inauguration of DAC reinforces the economic position of Abu Dhabi as the project contributes to the development of its industrial sector and emphasizes the importance of the industrial sector as a pivotal pillar in supporting the Emirate's economic diversification strategy. “Ducab Aluminium Company marks an important milestone in the UAE aluminium sector and adds to a growing number of downstream ventures in aluminium being developed in KIZAD as part of the UAE’s ambitions to further diversify the national economy. Proximity to Port Khalifa is a real advantage for this export orientated business. DAC has already signed rod supply contracts to service customers across the GCC, India, Lebanon, North America and select markets in Africa. Further expansions are also being planned for Latin America and Europe as DAC targets export sales of over AED300 million in 2018,” adds Dr. Ahmad Bin Hassan Al Shaikh, Vice Chairman of Ducab and DAC Board Member. The new DAC facility has been built in KIZAD close to Emirates Global Aluminium, the fifth largest aluminium producer in the world, which will expand the growing opportunity to provide a reliable and sustainable source of production and distribution of high-quality ISO9001 certified aluminium. The proximity of DAC to the EGA plant provides an ideal supply chain link for the company, with molten aluminium being delivered directly from EGA’s smelter. Receiving aluminium as molten metal saves on both costs and environmental emissions, increasing the competitiveness of the UAE aluminium fabrication industry and supporting the development of a healthy downstream sector. Ducab Aluminium Company manufactures Electrical Conductive (EC) grade aluminium and aluminium alloy rods, wires, and bare overhead conductors. The activities at DAC will complement Ducab’s existing portfolio, which has seen the 100% UAE-owned company become a global leader in the development, design, manufacture, marketing and distribution of copper and aluminium wire and cable products. With five manufacturing facilities in the UAE including DAC, Ducab’s products are currently used in the energy, general construction, oil & gas, industrial, defence, transport, marine, mining and other specialty industry verticals.
