UAE cable manufacturer spotlights aluminium, fire-performance, and nuclear-grade cables
Dubai, UAE - Ducab, the UAE-based leading manufacturer of high-quality cables and cabling products owned equally by Abu Dhabi’s Senaat and by Investment Corporation Dubai (ICD), is participating in the Middle East Electricity Exhibition and Summit (MEE) 2017, which is being held in Dubai between 14th and 16th February 2017. With a focus on growth, resilience, and sustainability, Ducab’s will showcase its aluminium, fire-performance, and nuclear-grade cables at its MEE 2017 stand.
Mohammed A. Al Mutawa, Ducab’s Chief Commercial Officer said: “Ducab values its association with MEE and this year we are strengthening our support for the leading industry event as a sponsor. Our product innovation positions us as partners in the success of the UAE, particularly when it comes to emerging areas such as Smart Cities and sustainable grids. We look forward to engaging with the broader industry and driving conversations around innovation, and the growing need for safety standards in an increasingly competitive market.”
The cable manufacturer is now bringing the latest industry information on trends, standards and safety specification requirements to MEE by hosting technical seminars on each day of the industry trade show. Sessions will be run by subject experts from Ducab as well as from organisations such as British Approvals Service for Cables (BASEC), the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB), and Trimble (Amtech). These sessions are open to all MEE delegates and visitors and will cover topics such as solar cable challenges, British quality standard awareness, and BASEC fire performance cable types.
Demonstrating its commitment to innovation and consistent growth of its product range for an industry with dynamic and evolving requirements, Ducab is showcasing its leadership in aluminium cables, delivered through its Ducab Aluminium Company (DAC) subsidiary. Situated in Abu Dhabi’s Khalifa City, Ducab Aluminium Company is set to come online at full production capacity of 50,000tpa, and will provide the GCC and MENA region with electrical conductive (EC)-grade aluminium alloy rods and wires in the first phase.
Ducab’s FlamBICC range of fire-performance cabling products, and NuBICC, its nuclear-grade certified cables and accessories, stand alongside the aluminium product range as strong proof points on Ducab’s strength in specialised cables and products for a demanding and certification-intensive market.
Speaking about Ducab’s engagement with the UAE’s innovation and drive towards a sustainable future, Mohammed A. Al Mutawa continued: “Working closely with UAE’s renewable energy projects, Ducab is a part of two of the largest solar power-generation projects in the region – Masdar’s Shams 1 in Abu Dhabi, and DEWA’s 13MW solar plant in Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park in Dubai in collaboration with DEWA. We are also working with the Barakah Nuclear Power plant (BNPP) being built by ENEC in Abu Dhabi, and are proud to play a role in these landmark projects that are the very definitions of innovation and sustainability in our home market, the UAE.”
At Middle East Electricity 2017, Ducab will showcase its market-leading range of products at stand E10 in Hall 8 of the Dubai World Trade Centre Exhibition Centre.
