Dubai Investments, a diversified investment company with a 30-year operational legacy and listed on the Dubai Financial Market (DFM), has commenced construction of a second production line at Emirates Float Glass (EFG), its wholly owned subsidiary located within Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (KEZAD).
The launch ceremony was attended by Khalid Bin Kalban, Vice Chairman and CEO of Dubai Investments, and Mohammed Ghareeb, Chief Experience Officer at KEZAD Group, alongside senior representatives from Dubai Investments, government bodies, and project partners responsible for core technologies, civil works and contract management, demonstrating a collaborative approach to the expansion.
Khalid Bin Kalban, Vice Chairman and CEO of Dubai Investments, said: “The second float line marks a transformative milestone for the UAE’s industrial manufacturing landscape. With dual float lines and the introduction of Ultra Clear Glass, the Group is expanding capacity, enhancing product offerings and providing customers with a complete range of high-performance glass solutions under one roof. This project underscores Dubai Investments’ commitment to industrial innovation, sustainable growth and economic diversification.”
The expansion represents an investment exceeding AED 600 million and positions Emirates Float Glass as the only glass producer in the GCC operating two float lines, significantly enhancing its output capabilities.
The project also introduces Ultra Clear Glass production to the GCC and Middle East for the first time, alongside the company’s existing magnetron sputtering coating technology. This will enable the production of high-transmission, low-emissivity coated glass products, supporting rising demand in architectural, solar and industrial applications. When combined with the offerings of Emirates Glass and Saudi American Glass, customers will gain access to a comprehensive range spanning standard float to advanced specialty products from a single source.
EFG remains the only ICV-certified glass manufacturer listed on the Abu Dhabi Economic Department’s Golden List, reflecting its commitment to local value creation, sustainability, and operational excellence.
Construction is underway, with the second float line scheduled to be operational between late 2027 and early 2028. Upon completion, Emirates Float Glass will further strengthen its leadership in the regional float-glass sector, delivering increased production scale, advanced technologies, and an expanded product portfolio for customers across the GCC and international markets.
