Dubai Investments JV to build $68m steel plant

Must read


Dubai Investments (DI), an investment conglomerate, has announced a joint venture with Abu Dhabi National Company for Building Materials (Bildco) for setting up a steel plant in Musaffah, Abu Dhabi, at a cost of Dh250 million ($68 million).

Dubai Investments’ wholly-owned subsidiary Dubai Investments Industries (DII) holds 51 per cent stake in the joint venture and the remaining is held by Bildco. A memorandum of understanding (MoU) to this effect was signed by Mohammed Al Raqbani, general manager of Dubai Investments Industries and Dr Nasser Saif Al Mansoori, board member of Bildco, in April.

The new plant, expected to go on stream by the end of 2017 at Industrial City of Abu Dhabi (ICAD) III in Musaffah, will produce 300,000 tonnes of reinforced steel bar per annum, once fully operational.

According to industry estimates, the steel sector in the UAE has witnessed a steady upswing over the past few years and is expected to grow by nearly five per cent in the next three to four years, thanks mainly to growing demand from the oil and gas and construction sector, with anticipated surge expected from the infrastructure developments for Expo 2020.

Khalid Bin Kalban, managing director and CEO of Dubai Investments, said: “Dubai Investments’ joint venture for the Bildco steel plant is a major step forward to not only cater to the domestic demand for steel with the rampant construction across the UAE, but also capitalise on the surging market requirements for steel across the Middle East. Dubai Investments has a strong portfolio in the building materials domain and this joint venture with Bildco for the steel rebar is a strategic fit to further strengthen the company’s leadership in the sector.”

Saif Darwish Al Ketbi, chairman of Bildco, said: “Since its inception, Abu Dhabi National Company for Building Materials has contributed significantly to the growth and building of infrastructure in the UAE, earning an unmatched reputation as an innovative company. Bildco’s joint venture with Dubai Investments is aimed at creating new demand for steel across the UAE and region and is a significant milestone in its growth plans.”

The construction sector is the biggest consumer of steel in the Middle East, accounting for an estimated 90 per cent of steel use. As a result, the market for steel rebar in the UAE and the GCC is expected to grow consistently in the next decade.
