Ducab Metals Business (DMB) plans to more than double the size of its manufacturing plant in the UAE’s Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (KEZAD). This move strengthens DMB’s role as a leading regional producer of copper and aluminum industrial products.
Ducab Metals Business KEZAD expansion
Under a 50-year lease signed by Ducab Group chairman Khaled Lootah, DMB will add 51,015 sqm to its current 50,000 sqm facility in KEZAD. As a result, the Ducab Metals Business KEZAD expansion pushes the site to over 100,000 sqm and creates room for higher production.
The larger footprint allows DMB to increase output of copper and aluminum products for fast-growing industrial, energy and infrastructure markets. In addition, the project supports Abu Dhabi’s strategy to attract advanced manufacturing into its flagship economic zone.
Jobs, R&D and advanced metal products
The Ducab Metals Business KEZAD expansion will create new jobs and widen the company’s research and development activities. DMB plans to develop new, advanced metal products for customers in power, construction and industrial sectors in the region and beyond.
This initiative also enhances Abu Dhabi’s image as a hub for high-value metal manufacturing. Moreover, it aligns with the emirate’s push to move up the value chain and grow export-focused, technology-driven industries.
Ducab Metals Business production capacity
As a stand-alone company within Ducab Group, Ducab Metals Business ranks as the largest metals business of its kind in the region. DMB operates annual capacity of about 180,000 metric tons of copper rod and 50,000 metric tons of aluminum rod and overhead conductors.
The Ducab Metals Business KEZAD expansion supports these capacities by enabling more efficient production and integrated product solutions. DMB also designs engineered solutions that Ducab manufactures in its existing copper rod and aluminum factories in Abu Dhabi, creating a tightly connected metals value chain in the UAE.
