Ducab Metals Business (DMB), a division of UAE-based Ducab Group -  one of the country’s largest manufacturing businesses, is showcasing its ‘Made in the Emirates’ product range to a global audience at the world’s most important trade fair for the wire and cable industry, Wire Düsseldorf.

 

Attending the event for the first time, DMB is a leading global provider of copper and aluminium products and has played a key role in taking ‘Made in the Emirates’ products to the world.

 

DMB,  established in 2020 as a new metals brand and a business segment of Ducab Group, is the only company in the MENA region that produces both copper and aluminium products and it is one of three metal producers in the UAE. 

 

The company’s customer base continues to widen with new markets this year including Germany, France, Czech Republic, Romania, and Colombia. Its 2021 revenues were AED5.1 billion (almost $1.4 billion).

 

With more than 75% of DMB products exported from the UAE, the company is now one of the world’s leading metals suppliers, delivering best-in-class metals solutions to over 45 countries across the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia, and the Americas. It is also a major global exporter of UAE-manufactured products, contributing widely to the diversification efforts that are driving economic growth across the UAE, said a statement. 

 

Mohamed Al Ahmedi, CEO of Ducab Metals Business, said: “Ducab plays a key role in supporting the diversification of the local economy, empowering the UAE’s industrial capabilities, and meeting the growing global demands for copper and aluminium. Our participation at Wire Düsseldorf reflects our commitment in Europe which has a very strong focus on the transition to renewable energy and reducing carbon emissions.”

 

DMB produces a full range of bunched copper wire products, tailor-made to customer requirements, for use in building wires and cables. It is also a leading manufacturer of customised flexible copper conductors, with smaller wire sizes for added flexibility, used in the cables industry, in earthing applications and transformer end-connections.

 

Currently, DMB’s production of copper stands at 180,000 tonnes per annum (tpa), while DMB’s aluminium output is 50,000 tpa.

 

DMB operates a US$60 million plant for aluminium rod and overhead conductors in UAE capital, Abu Dhabi.  

 

DMB is also using its capabilities in the sector to drive the business with its Contirod technology, producing high-quality ETP copper rods, flexible cables, wires and overhead conductors for the electrical industry. - TradeArabia News Service
