Dubai Investments Doubles Glass Production with New Float Line

Dubai Investments, a leading company listed on the Dubai Financial Market, announced that it will expand its subsidiary Emirates Float Glass (EFG) by adding a second float line. This will double the production capacity from 600 tonnes per day to 1,200 tonnes per day. The new line will also produce Ultra Clear low-iron glass, a first in the MENA region, offering better clarity, color, and quality.

Advanced Technology and Energy Efficiency

The new line is expected to start operations between late 2027 and early 2028. It will include advanced automation, energy-efficient systems, and modern process controls to ensure consistent product quality and reduce energy use. The facility is designed to minimize environmental impact and support sustainable growth.

CEO Highlights Importance of Expansion

Abdulaziz Bin Yakub Al Serkal, CEO – Industrial Platform, Dubai Investments, said the project is a major step for the regional glass industry. He added that the expansion will strengthen the UAE’s position as a hub for advanced manufacturing and support sustainable industrial growth.

Meeting Market Demand

The second float line will help EFG meet increasing demand for high-quality glass in construction, infrastructure, and design sectors. It will also create opportunities in regional and international markets, establishing EFG as a leading supplier of premium glass products.

Global and Local Collaboration

The project is in partnership with HORN Glass Industries from Germany, which will provide glass melting furnaces and systems. A UAE civil works contractor and an international contract administration firm will ensure high standards for project delivery and quality.

This expansion allows Dubai Investments to diversify into premium glass products and deliver value to partners. The project aligns with the UAE’s goal of sustainable industrial growth and strengthens the country’s position as a leader in high-performance glass manufacturing.

With the new float line, Emirates Float Glass will offer advanced, premium-quality glass while meeting growing market demand. The project demonstrates Dubai Investments’ commitment to technology, sustainability, and industrial innovation in the UAE.
