Ducab, the leading manufacturer of high quality power cables in the region, is showcasing its latest products at the Middle East Electricity Exhibition (MEEE), now under way in Dubai.

Items on the company’s agenda include the display of state-of-the-art products produced in the Special Cables Unit, the launch of a new range of Ducab Connect products, and a series of joint seminars in cooperation with Dow Wire & Cable and FM Sudafix.

“This year Ducab is celebrating 30 years of powering the region as a manufacturing leader,” said Andrew Shaw, managing director at Ducab.

With a new office in Qatar and a number of planned expansions outside of the UAE market, Shaw believes that MEEE is the ideal platform for the company to network with the best in the industry. The exhibition, which opened on February 9, closes today (Feb 11).

So far Ducab has updated stakeholders on the new Ducab HV plant opening by the end of 2010, the launch of a Special Cables Unit in fall 2009, and new production processes in its cable and copper manufacturing, he said.

Ducab’s copper rod plant — the first of its kind established in the UAE in 2008 — has become so successful that the company now sells the copper commercially to other manufacturers in the region in addition to using the material for internal consumption, he added.

Last year over 1000 companies from around the world attended Middle East Electricity — now in its 35th year — and event organisers say that approximately 98 countries are represented at this year’s conference.-TradeArabia News Service
