DELTA Coatings International Breaks Ground on New Headquarters in Dubai
On June 18, 2025, DELTA Coatings International officially commenced construction of its new headquarters and manufacturing facility at Dubai Industrial City (DIC). This eco-friendly development marks an exciting chapter in the company’s strategic growth plan, aimed at significantly expanding production capacity and nurturing innovation in the coatings industry.
Groundbreaking Ceremony Enthusiasts
The groundbreaking ceremony was a noteworthy event, attended by a cadre of senior representatives from DELTA Coatings International and Dubai Industrial City. Key figures included Saud Abu Al-Shawareb, Managing Director of Dubai Industrial City; Abdulla Alraeesi, Assistant Manager of Business Development at DIC; and Saleem, Chairman and Founder of DELTA Coatings International. Also present were Sami Saleem, Chief Executive Officer, Belvin Marx, General Manager, and Paul Symmons, Business Development Manager. Their attendance underscores the collaborative effort driving this ambitious project.
Sustainable Production at the Heart of Development
One of the standout features of the new plant is its commitment to sustainability. The facility will be partially powered by renewable energy through a significant installation of rooftop solar panels. This initiative aligns seamlessly with DELTA Coatings’ ongoing efforts in sustainability and decarbonization, reflecting a holistic approach to modern manufacturing.
Once operational, this facility is anticipated to triple DELTA Coatings’ existing manufacturing output while also tripling its warehouse space, thereby enhancing the company’s capability to meet the surging global demand for its DELTAShield product range.
Empowering Innovation and Market Leadership
Belvin Marx, General Manager of DELTA Coatings International, expressed the significance of the new global headquarters and manufacturing plant. “Our new global HQ and plant represents a pivotal moment in DELTA Coatings’ evolution since its inception over 20 years ago,” he remarked. With a growing awareness of polyurea’s durability and increased global demand, Marx highlighted that the new plant aims to empower teams to innovate further and deliver enhanced value to their clients and partners.
The facility will play a key role as a hub of innovation, where the company can not only showcase the benefits of polyurea coatings and waterproofing but also train the next generation of applicators, ultimately inspiring market leadership.
Collaborative Workspaces and Customer Engagement
Designed with modernity and collaboration in mind, the new headquarters will feature open-plan workspaces that encourage teamwork among DELTA’s expanding international team. Customer engagement areas are also integral to the design, intended to demonstrate the strength and versatility of polyurea-based coatings to clients and visitors alike.
The scalable infrastructure planned for the facility is crafted to accommodate continued growth, ensuring that DELTA Coatings is well-equipped to respond to rising product demand.
Research and Development Centre of Excellence
In line with its commitment to innovation, the new plant will house a Research and Development Centre of Excellence. This advanced laboratory will focus on creating next-generation polyurea products tailored to meet the specific needs of clients and the challenges posed by regional climates. Such a commitment to R&D fortifies DELTA Coatings’ position as an international leader in innovation, setting the stage for future advancements in the coatings sector.
Strategic Location and Accessibility
The strategically chosen location in Dubai Industrial City enhances accessibility to key markets across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and beyond. Situated just a 20-minute drive from Dubai World Central Airport and Jebel Ali Port, and within a 45-minute drive of Abu Dhabi, the facility is well-positioned for efficient logistics and distribution.
Comprehensive Training and Support Services
Moreover, DELTA Coatings plans to establish a Graco HPCF equipment training hub within the new facility. This hub will serve as a regional center dedicated to demos of HPCF spray equipment, rapid maintenance and repair services, as well as hands-on training programs for coating applicators. Such an initiative showcases DELTA’s commitment to not just producing superior products but also supporting the applicators who bring these innovations to life.
The new high-efficiency warehouse and distribution center will be integrated with advanced electronic stock management systems to optimize inventory control and ensure reliable, timely product deliveries, further enhancing the operational capabilities of DELTA Coatings International.
Final Thoughts
The development of DELTA Coatings International’s new headquarters in Dubai marks a transformative leap for the company, signifying its commitment to sustainability, innovation, and market leadership in the polyurea coatings industry. With this ambitious project, DELTA Coatings aims not only to fulfill current demand but also to shape the future of coatings and waterproofing technologies on a global scale.
