Ducab, one of the UAE’s largest manufacturing businesses, has officially opened its new employee accommodation – a residential complex covering 2,400 sq m in Jebel Ali, Dubai.

Comprising several low-rise buildings, the development celebrates Ducab’s 40th anniversary by providing a safe and homely environment for the company’s employees to live in, with amenities to provide a high level of comfort for all 296 residents.

Owned equally by Abu Dhabi’s General Holding Corporation (Senaat) and Investment Corporation Dubai (ICD), Ducab operates six manufacturing facilities across 4 sites in the UAE with all its production based within the country.

Employing over 1600, the company serves customers worldwide in the fields of energy, general construction, oil and gas, renewables, industrial, defence, rail transport, marine, mining and other specialty industry verticals.

Speaking on the launch, Chairman Dr Ahmad Bin Hassan Al Shaikh said: "The vision of the UAE’s leadership is to build a multinational community that appreciates and celebrates the value of each individual who resides here."

"Ducab’s Human Resources department have incorporated these values into the heart of Ducab through several initiatives, helping us to perform better as a company through the actions of our empowered and engaged employees," he stated.

Al Shaikh said the well-being of Ducab's employees was a top priority, and "this investment of Dh19 million in top-quality accommodation in Jebel Ali is a testament to this."

Each bedroom within the complex has its own balcony and is fully furnished to provide a comfortable living space and storage facilities for every resident, said the statement from Ducab.

With full WiFi connectivity throughout the buildings, a stocked pantry, First Aid room and a laundry facility, the accommodation provides top class living facilities, it added.

The residents are also delighted with the new enlarged prayer room and renovated dining and recreation areas, said a senior official.

"Ducab is committed to excellence not only in business and the products we manufacture, but in the way that we treat our people," remarked its CEO Andrew Shaw.

As a representative of the UAE’s flourishing industrial sector, employing over 1600 individuals with more than 30 nationalities, Ducab provides employees with a wide variety of career opportunities and offers scholarship and graduate trainee programmes for younger recruits.

“We recognise the importance of taking care of our team members, and endeavour to provide them with a working environment that enables them to thrive, as well as a safe and comfortable home to relax in,” he added.-TradeArabia News Service
