Ducab Metals Business (DMB), a subsidiary of the Ducab Group, plans to increase its annual production capacity for aluminum as well as bare copper product capacity in response to what it said was surging global demand for the UAE-manufactured products.

A press release said that the company recently added 51,015 sq m to its existing facility in Kezad. It plans to increase production for aluminum from 55,000 to 110,000 metric tons per year. It also plans to increase its bare copper product capacity in the initiative to elevate the ‘Made in the Emirates’ brand and boost the company’s global competitiveness. The announcement was made at the
Ducab Metals Business Expansion Forum, held in partnership with Middle East Economic Digest (MEED). At the forum, DMB also presented its advancements in developing green aluminum.

Hildebrandt chose ecologically sustainable concepts for the planning of the construction project. The future energy requirements will be completely covered by biomass, generated from its own production waste. “By doing this, we are reducing our ecological footprint significantly,” said Hildebrandt Partner Matthias Lohraff.” A concise strategy for sustainability is a core element of the company strategy of August Hildebrandt Group.
