Reem Emirates Aluminum (REA) launched its state-of-the-art factory and offices in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi, last month, making it the largest high-tech, façade designer and fabricator of architectural curtain walls and cladding in the UAE, according to a spokesman for the company.

The purpose-built factory and office in the shape of a wave has been constructed on multiple plots of land, encompassing an area in excess of 80,000 sq m. The new factory will provide custom-made architectural cladding elements with a particular emphasis on the designing and manufacturing of unitised curtain-wall panels.
The factory will be capable of producing 60,000 sq m of curtain wall panels monthly.
“The establishment of this factory will strengthen our local supply chain specialist of curtain wall, a much-needed resource especially considering the construction boom currently being experienced in Abu Dhabi and Dubai,” says Derek Bruce, general manager of REA. 
The factory, the first of four planned, produces more than 400 unitised panels per shift daily.
