Dubai Investments, a leading diversified investment company listed on the Dubai Financial Market (DFM), has announced that it will double the float glass manufacturing capacity of its wholly owned subsidiary, Emirates Float Glass (EFG), through the addition of a second production line.
The new production line will boost EFG’s capacity from 600 to 1,200 tonnes per day and introduce Ultra Clear low-iron glass, a first-of-its-kind capability in the MENA region. This innovation is set to redefine industry benchmarks for clarity, color accuracy, and premium quality.
The second float line is scheduled to be operational between late 2027 and early 2028 and will feature advanced automation, energy-efficient systems, and next-generation process controls to ensure consistent product quality, operational efficiency, and reduced energy consumption.
Designed with sustainability in mind, the new line will also minimize environmental impact, reinforcing Dubai Investments’ commitment to responsible, future-focused industrial growth.
Abdulaziz Bin Yakub Al Serkal, CEO – Industrial Platform, Dubai Investments, said, “The development of Emirates Float Glass’s second float line marks a pivotal step for the regional glass industry. By doubling production capacity and introducing Ultra Clear glass with unmatched clarity and performance, EFG strengthens the UAE’s position as a hub for advanced manufacturing.”
“This expansion reflects EFG’s commitment to technology-driven products, industrial innovation, and sustainable growth, enabling the company to diversify into premium segments and deliver greater value to partners across construction, infrastructure, and design, while supporting Dubai Investments’ long-term industrial growth strategy,” Al Serkal added.
This state-of-the-art facility will position EFG to capture growing demand from varied sectors, while creating significant opportunities across regional and international markets. The advanced production capability will further cement EFG’s position as a regional leader in high-performance glass and a trusted supplier to international markets seeking premium-quality, innovative products.
The project is being executed in collaboration with HORN Glass Industries of Germany, a globally recognized technology provider and the selected supplier of the glass melting furnaces and associated systems. It will also involve a UAE-based civil works contractor and an international contract administration firm, ensuring high standards of project delivery and oversight.
