Dubai - Mubasher: Dubai Investments plans to double production at its wholly owned subsidiary, Emirates Float Glass (EFG), with a second float line.

The new line will boost EFG’s daily capacity to 1,200 tons from 600 tons and debut MENA’s first ultra-clear low-iron glass, according to a press release.

The facility is designed to minimize environmental impact while meeting growing regional and international demand for premium glass.

In collaboration with Germany’s HORN Glass Industries, the line is expected to be operational between late 2027 and early 2028. It will feature advanced automation, energy-efficient systems, and next-generation process controls.

Abdulaziz bin Yakub Al Serkal, CEO of Industrial Platform, Dubai Investments, said: "The development of EFG’s second float line marks a pivotal step for the regional glass industry.”

The expansion underscores Dubai Investments’ focus on sustainable growth and cements EFG’s regional leadership in high-performance glass.

As of 30 June 2025, Dubai Investments logged AED 546.28 million in profit before tax, versus AED 431.68 million in the same period last year.
