Kiverco, a leader in engineering and manufacturing based in Northern Ireland, said it has been signed up as a specialist plant provider by UAE group Dulsco to supply a material recovery facility (MRF) plant for its key project in Dubai.

 

The move is aimed at supporting Dulsco’s vision to transform its waste into reusable and recycled products.

 

The state-of-the-art MRF facility, located at Ras Al Khor, is a recycling processing plant with a capacity of 80,000 tonnes per year and forms a key component of the company’s comprehensive environmental solutions offering.

 

This project, showcasing Kiverco’s engineering and manufacturing credentials to the world, has helped the company - a leader in the design, build and installation of recycling solutions globally - grow their overseas business by more than 600 per cent in the past year alone. 

 

Dulsco, an integrated solutions provider and the Official Waste Management Partner for Expo 2020 Dubai, had picked Kiverco for the job following its performance.

 

As per the deal, the Irish group is responsible for the design, manufacturing, installation and commissioning of a complete turnkey solution to help divert waste from landfill. 

 

Northern Ireland Minister for Economy Gordon Lyons said: "I am delighted to be here in the UAE and have the opportunity to see first-hand Kiverco’s recycling solutions hard at work at Dulsco’s plant. Kiverco were first introduced to Dulsco in 2018 by Invest NI, the regional economic development agency for Northern Ireland." 

 

"It’s great to see Invest NI support making such a positive impact on a business’ global growth," he noted.

 

"This project is testament to Kiverco’s commitment to continue to grow in this important region and highlights Northern Ireland’s world-class expertise in the sector," he added. 

 

While incorporating partner component technologies, some 90 per cent of Dulsco’s Dubai plant was manufactured at Kiverco’s 36,000 sq ft headquarters and factory in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. 

 

The facility, which is enabling Dulsco to reinvent, reimagine, repurpose, and reuse its customers’ waste, underpins the company’s commitment to sustainability and supports its drive towards achieving a circular economy.

 

The waste separation plant is capable of sorting 240 tonnes of multiple waste streams per day. Waste is sorted into different types of dry mixed recycling based on material type before going through various processes, depending on the type of waste. 

 

Dulsco CEO David Stockton said: "At Dulsco, we pride ourselves on only working with the best. As this was a vitally important project for us, it required the right contracting partner. Kiverco has a stellar reputation for the design and build of these types of projects."

 

"That, coupled with their excellent support and customer service, made them the perfect choice for helping us achieve operational excellence," he added.

 

Dulso Commercial Director Gavin McQuillan said: "By designing and building this recycling solution, Kiverco has provided great support to Dulsco. The establishment of this new plant is perfectly aligned with our mission of creating more sustainable communities and emphasises our continued commitment towards creating a circular economy."

 

Kiverco's Global Sales Head Con Gallagher said: "We are delighted to have worked with Dulsco to supply this recycling solution and we are honoured to be associated with this terrific recycling and sustainability initiative."

 

"The ambition of this project for Dulsco and the region, in general, is testament to the company’s foresight. Our design and manufacturing capabilities demonstrated in this recycling solution and the dedicated work of our install people during the pandemic is testament to the great team of people we have here at Kiverco," he added.
