Representatives visited Ducab facilities & place multi-million Dollar cable order
Dubai - Ducab, the Middle East's leading manufacturer of high quality cables and cabling products, has announced a new customer - the Venetian Resort, owned by the Sands Group in Macao, Hong Kong. Representatives from the Sands Group visited Ducab facilities and placed an order for more than US$12 million worth of cables for the extension project of the Venetian.
The project was won by Ducab's Hong Kong representative, Polygon Cable Supplies Ltd., and Ducab has been contracted to supply the project's requirement of BASEC-approved low-voltage (LV) cables, as well as LPCB-approved FlamBICC 4 - fire-retardant - cables.
Andrew Shaw, Managing Director, Ducab, said: "Winning this project is testament to the global standards to which Ducab products comply, and it is a proud moment for Ducab to be selected to supply the cabling needs for the Sands Group's latest Macau property. This shows that our quality focus continues to open up opportunities beyond the Middle East region. We were happy to host a delegation from the customer and the contractor at our factory and show them our class-leading processes and products."
The Venetian is a well-known hotel and resort in Macao, and the promoters have undertaken its extension to include a new property, The Parisian. This will be the Sands Group's fourth property in Macao and will feature 3,000 rooms and suites,a retail mall, replica Eiffel Tower, conference facilities, diverse F&B outlets, and entertainment options.
Dale Chandwick, Vice President - Building Services, Venetian Cotai Ltd., said: "Iconic projects such as the Venetian and the Parisian have a significant quality reputation to live-up to, and we believe that this begins at the construction stage. Working with Ducab and Polygon, we are in no doubt of the quality, safety, and longevity of the product, and we were also impressed by the facilities we visited in the UAE."
As main contractors for this project, the Sands Group has selected BYME Engineering, a part of Bouygues Contracting, one of the largest contractors in the world. The delegation to Ducab facilities included representatives from the Venetian, from BYME, and from Polygon.
