Dubai-based quality glass producer Emirates Glass has won a contract to supply more than 100,000 sq m of its EmiCool products to the massive construction of 40 towers at the celebrated Jumeirah Beach Residence. The contract is claimed to be largest single glass supply deal ever.
Supply will begin this month, with full delivery guaranteed within nine months.
“This is indeed a very significant milestone that we have reached. I know of no other regional company in our industry that has the expertise, experience or authority to claim such a high stake in the market and also be able to deliver on its promises. This massive new supply contract ensures that we have become a cut above the rest and one thing is certain, that our competitors will have to sit up and take notice of how we do things at Emirates Glass,” says Ziad Yazbeck, sales and marketing director, Emirates Glass.
The deal will go far to further cement its already established reputation as the single most prominent company in the entire regional glass production industry. The announcement of the deal came during the company’s participation in the Big 5 show, the largest annual venue for the entire Middle-East glass contracting industry, held in Dubai last month.
According to Yazbeck, it is also expected that Emirates Glass will comfortably deliver on this massive contract, primarily due to the company's recent investment in acquiring the world's largest glass tempering furnace.
“One of the main reasons that we were able to sign such a substantial contract is our guaranteed ability to meet delivery on our products. This is in no small part due to Emirates Glass’ recent acquisition of a super-machine, the largest of its kind in the world that is set to comfortably triple production output at our Dubai plant.
“Emirates Glass has invested a ground-breaking Dh16 million for the glass processing machines, which is recognised as the largest tempering furnace in the world. There is no doubt, therefore, that with such a machine, all our glass deliveries will be met in a timely and effective manner,” adds Yazbeck.
