Alubond U.S.A has invested AED 50mn ($13.6mn) in a new production facility to produce A2 fire resistant cladding panels for the first time in the UAE.
The facility in Sharjah will have a production capacity of six million square metres of panels per year and adds to Alubonds existing 2 million m2/year production line in Turkey.
Alubond U.S.A is the first brand in the Middle East to be successfully certified for A2 fire rated cladding panels and the only brand certified by the UAE Civil defense.
Shaji Ul Mulk, founder and chairman of Mulk Holdings, brand owner of Alubond, said: “Alubond U.S.A stands for quality fire resistant aluminium composite cladding products.
We would like to set an example for other products in the cladding industry and build a new era of fire resistant and accident free cladding products. We hope the industry players will follow the trend, taking a cue from this.”
