Danlesco Gulf, the UAE's leading industrial weighing equipment provider, has announced the launch of Danlesco Steel in Fujairah.
Danlesco Steel will be engaged in the business of steel fabrication and will operate from its newly constructed 100,000 square feet plant in the fast growing Al Hayl industrial area of Fujairah, the company said a statement.
The facility will produce industrial weighing platforms (weighbridges) for trucks and trailers. It will manufacture mild steel and stainless steel products for the construction and oil and gas sectors as well as catering to the requirements of local industries.
The plant will have the capacity to produce 5,000 metric tonnes of fabricated steel annually and will employ up to 200 workers when it is fully developed.
The plant will be inaugurated by Kooros Daneshvar, deputy chairman and managing director, Danlesco Gulf, and Abdul Ghafour Hashem Behroozian, chairman of Fujairah Trade Centre.
"Our research showed a strong demand for prefabri cated steel structures, not only in the East Coast region but throughout the UAE. With our new facility in Al Hayl, we are well placed to service the growing industrial base with particular emphasis on the construction sector," Daneshvar said in a statement.
Danlesco Gulf acts as the exclusive master distributor for Avery Weigh-Tronix throughout the Middle East and imports its equipment directly from the United Kingdom. Having a 70 per cent market share, the firm was one of the first industrial equipment providers in the UAE having initiated operations in 1971.
