Dubai Investments Strengthens Operational Continuity Across Integrated Manufacturing Platform
Dubai Investments has reaffirmed its commitment to operational continuity within its integrated manufacturing platform, playing a crucial role in supporting construction and infrastructure activities throughout the region. This initiative encompasses a diverse range of materials, including glass, steel, and aluminium, along with various industrial manufacturing solutions.
The Group’s manufacturing segment remains a vital contributor to its overall income, accounting for nearly one-third of total revenue. This is bolstered by a diversified industrial portfolio that includes nine specialized manufacturing companies operating across six core sectors of building materials. By aligning production and delivery with ongoing and planned project requirements, Dubai Investments effectively supports residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure developments in local and regional markets.
Glass Manufacturing Segment
In the glass sector, Dubai Investments continues to supply architectural and value-added glass products, catering to a wide array of construction applications. This includes residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments, with manufacturing and supply activities progressing in accordance with construction schedules.
Emirates Glass, a prominent processor of architectural glass, reported the delivery of approximately 1.1 million square meters of glass across around 150 projects during the fiscal year 2025. These projects comprised 70% residential, 20% commercial, and 10% hospitality developments, supporting initiatives across the UAE and select international markets.
Complementing Emirates Glass, Emirates Float Glass (EFG), the Group’s float glass manufacturing arm, continues to operate its production facilities, facilitating downstream processing across the integrated glass platform. EFG is actively involved in projects throughout the UAE and GCC, with anticipated annual sales growth of approximately 5%. Current projects span residential, commercial, and industrial developments across the GCC, Jordan, and Egypt, emphasizing product quality, reliability, and regulatory compliance.
