From a two person team in 1993, Danube has grown to one of the largest materials company in the region with more than 1300 strong employees. Today the Danube group is an AED2 billion annual turnover conglomerate.
Danube Building Materials FZCO more than 25,000 products and value added services in-house, and operates from its head office in Jebel Ali Free zone, UAE. Danube has offices in the UAE, Sharjah, Bahrain, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, India and China, along with its procurement office in Canada. The company’s investments comprise a manufacturing facility in China, a production plant in Ajman, a ceiling manufacturing hub in Sharjah, and a steel factory in Oman. In addition, Danube has also made sizeable investments within the major subsectors of the construction industry, including the UAE steel, aluminium and glass markets, and the Bahraini steel market.
Danube Building Materials has set a target of attaining US$1 billion revenue by the year 2015.
Last year marked the launch of Danube Properties, after five years the group rolled out its home furnishing retail chain Danube Home, the re-branded version of Danube Buildmart – that offers a great value chain in real estate, construction and home comfort.
“The launch of Danube Properties comes following a careful study of the needs of the UAE’s property market where the combination of quality, affordability, developer’s commitment and timely delivery is a rarity,” Rizwan Sajan, Founder and Chairman of Danube Group, said.
In January earlier this year, Danube Properties marked the official start of the construction work of its first two projects, Dreamz by Danube and Glitz by Danube. The launch of the projects marked the entry of the group into the real estate industry as a developer.
Sajan said: “At Danube, it has always been our commitment to provide a range of innovative, value-added services for our customers to foster mutual success and growth.”
