Leading Middle East flat glass processors Emirates Glass, has reported that its annual production capacity has tripled to more than 3.5 million sq.m. thanks to the installation of a state-of-the-art coating line. Emirates Glass, a subsidiary of Glass, is wholly owned by Dubai Investments. The Terra-G sputter-coating line, which was installed as part of its USD 43.5 million investment plans, is now operating as designed, producing cut-to-size and stock sheet post-temperable, high-performance coated glass under the popular EmiCool brand name. The capacity expansion will enable Emirates Glass to capitalize more effectively on demand for energy-efficient architectural glass and emerge as a truly global player in the glass industry, said Ziad Yazbeck, senior vice president, sales and marketing, Glass. The move will allow us to diversify our position geographically and expand our market to more countries in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Europe, he noted. EmiCool is one of our largest selling brands, and has been much in demand globally owing to its high performance and superior energy efficiency, said Yazbeck. Available in a variety of models to suit diverse customer requirements, EmiCool is designed to perform optimally in heating-dominated as well as cooling-dominated climates, keeping the heat in, or out, as required, he added.
