* Dubai Investments, a leading diversified investment group listed on the Dubai Financial Market (DFM) with a three-decade track record, has begun construction of the second production line at Emirates Float Glass (EFG), located in KEZAD, Abu Dhabi.
The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by Khalid Bin Kalban, Vice Chairman and CEO of Dubai Investments, and Mohammed Ghareeb, Chief Experience Officer at KEZAD Group, together with senior government officials and representatives from key project partners responsible for technology supply, construction, and contract delivery.
Khalid Bin Kalban, Vice Chairman and CEO of Dubai Investments, stated: "The second float line marks a transformative milestone for the UAE's industrial manufacturing landscape. With dual float lines and the introduction of Ultra Clear Glass, the Group is expanding capacity, enhancing product offerings and providing customers with a complete range of high-performance glass solutions under one roof. This project underscores Dubai Investments' commitment to industrial innovation, sustainable growth and economic diversification."
With an investment exceeding AED 600 million, the new float line will position Emirates Float Glass as the only manufacturer in the GCC to operate dual float production lines, significantly increasing output capacity and reinforcing its competitive advantage.
A key feature of the expansion is the introduction of Ultra Clear Glass production, a capability not currently available elsewhere in the GCC or wider Middle East. Supported by EFG's magnetron sputtering coater, the line will produce premium high-transparency, low-emissivity products tailored for architectural, solar and industrial uses. Together with Emirates Glass and Saudi American Glass, the Group will provide a fully integrated offering across standard and specialist coated glass.
EFG is also the only ICV-certified glass manufacturing company included on the Abu Dhabi Economic Department's Golden List, underscoring its commitment to local supply chains, sustainability, and high-quality standards.
Construction is already in progress, with the second line expected to become fully operational between late 2027 and early 2028. Once established, Emirates Float Glass will reinforce its status as a leading regional producer, delivering greater production flexibility, expanded technological capability, and an enhanced range of high-performance glass solutions for domestic and international markets.
