22 January 1998: Emirates Glass recently appointed Saudi-based Zamil Glass Industries as regional distributor in Saudi, Kuwait and Bahrain for the distribution of its range of EmiCool high performance coated glass used in the construction industry. The agreement, which covers the markets of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait & Bahrain, was recently signed in Dubai by Mr. Khalid Jassim Kalban, General Manager of Dubai Investments and Chairman of Emirates Glass, and Mr. Sulaiman A. Al-Zamil, President, Zamil Glass Industries. “This agreement with Zamil Glass Industries is a big boost to our marketing plans in the region and we are happy to be associated with such a progressive company,” said Mr Kalban. Emirates Glass started commercial production in September 1997 at its hi-tech Dhs 70 million glass processing plant in Dubai, with an annual production capacity of 1.5 million square metres, in order to meet the growing demand of high quality coloured and toughened glass sheets in the construction industry, the company said. The company also said that through the Zamil Glass Industries regional offices in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Bahrain and Kuwait, Emirates Glass will have access to the Saudi, Bahrain and Kuwait markets. The plant is supposedly the most modern glass processing facility in the world and the largest in the Middle East. “We have a network of some fourteen sales engineers to assist in spearheading the introduction of Emirates Glass products into these expanding markets,” said Al-Zamil. “In view of the growing demand of high performance glass in the construction sector in the region, Zamil Glass Industries has maintained an on-going programme of improvement and expansion. Emirates Glass produces high quality products and we are looking forward to a fruitful association with them,” he added. In addition to the agreement signed with Al Zamil, Emirates Glass LLC said the company is also in the process of appointing exclusive distributors in the markets of Egypt, Lebanon, Turkey, Iran and India, while also targeting Far Eastern markets such as Vietnam, Philippines, China, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Founded in 1983, Zamil Glass Industries has supplied the technically demanding glass requirements for many landmark projects and prestigious developments, both in Saudi Arabia, throughout the Gulf and Middle East. Dubai Investments, a Public Joint Stock Company which was founded in 1995 to promote business opportunities in the UAE and the Gulf, is currently capitalised at Dhs 1.3 billion and holds assets amounting to Dhs 718 million. The company said they are aiming to invest in ventures which serve to develop economic activity in various areas of manufacturing, trade, commerce and services.
