Dubai Investments to Double Glass Production Capacity with Ultra Clear Low-Iron Glass Line
Dubai Investments is set to amplify its glass production capacity, with plans to double that of its subsidiary Emirates Float Glass (EFG). The expansion, slated for late 2027 or early 2028, aims to position EFG as a key regional supplier of high-performance glass for premium applications.
The project, lauded by Abdulaziz Bin Yakub Al Serkal, CEO of Industrial Platform at Dubai Investments, as a pivotal move for the regional glass industry, will introduce Ultra Clear low-iron glass, a first-of-its-kind product in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. This new line will enable EFG to meet increasing demand from sectors such as construction, infrastructure, and design.
The expansion involves adding a second production line, increasing daily output from 600 tonnes to 1,200 tonnes. The new facility will feature advanced automation, energy-efficient systems, and next-generation process controls. A UAE-based civil works contractor and an international contract administration firm will contribute to project execution and oversight, with HORN Glass Industries of Germany serving as a key collaborator.
The project, which does not yet have a confirmed supplier for the glass melting furnaces and related systems, is expected to significantly enhance EFG's production capacity and product offerings. Upon completion, it will enable EFG to better serve the growing demand for high-performance glass in the region.
