Ducab, the UAE-based manufacturer of cabling products owned equally by Abu Dhabi’s Senaat and the Investment Corporation Dubai, ICD, is participating in the Middle East Electricity Exhibition and Summit, MEE 2017, which is being held in Dubai until 16th February at the Dubai World Trade Centre Exhibition Centre.

With a focus on growth, resilience, and sustainability, Ducab will showcase its aluminium, fire-performance, and nuclear-grade cables at its MEE 2017 stand.

Demonstrating its commitment to innovation, Ducab is also showcasing its leadership in aluminium cables, delivered through its Ducab Aluminium Company, DAC, subsidiary. Situated in Abu Dhabi’s Khalifa City, Ducab Aluminium Company is set to come online at full production capacity of 50,000 tpa, and will provide the GCC and MENA region with electrical conductive-grade aluminium alloy rods and wires in the first phase.

Speaking on the occasion, Mohammed A. Al Mutawa, Ducab’s Chief Commercial Officer, said, "Ducab values its association with MEE and this year we are strengthening our support for the leading industry event as a sponsor. Our product innovation positions us as partners in the success of the UAE, particularly when it comes to emerging areas such as smart cities and sustainable grids. We look forward to engaging with the broader industry and driving conversations around innovation, and the growing need for safety standards in an increasingly competitive market."

Speaking about Ducab’s engagement with the UAE’s innovation and drive towards a sustainable future, Mr. A. Al Mutawa continued, "Working closely with the UAE’s renewable energy projects, Ducab is a part of two of the largest solar power-generation projects in the region: Masdar’s Shams 1 in Abu Dhabi, and DEWA’s 13MW solar plant in Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park in Dubai in collaboration with DEWA. We are also working with the Barakah Nuclear Power plant being built by ENEC in Abu Dhabi, and are proud to play a role in these landmark projects that are the very definitions of innovation and sustainability in our home market, the UAE."
