Emirates Glass Triples Production Capacity
With the installation of the multi-million dirham Terra-G
sputter-coating line, the yearly capacity of Emirates Glass has tripled
to more than 3.5 million square meters.
"The capacity expansion
will enable Emirates Glass to capitalize more effectively on demand for
energy-efficient architectural glass and emerge as a truly global player
in the glass industry," said Ziad Yazbeck, Senior Vice President, Sales
and Marketing, Glass LLC. "The move will allow us to diversify our
position geographically and expand our market to more countries in the
Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Europe."
The new coating line is
now operating as designed, producing cut-to-size and stock sheet
post-temperable, high-performance coated glass under the popular EmiCool
brand name.
"EmiCool is one of our largest selling brands, and
has been much in demand globally owing to its high performance and
superior energy efficiency," said Yazbeck. "Available in a variety of
models to suit diverse customer requirements, EmiCool is designed to
perform optimally in heating-dominated as well as cooling-dominated
climates, keeping the heat in, or out, as required."
