Aluminium rods to be produced at the plant will be supplied to existing Mark Cables factories in Dubai and Angola as well as to third party customers in the UAE, Africa and Europe, for the manufacture of power cables.
For the production, Mark Cables will secure raw aluminium from Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) as per the agreement signed on November 19, 2025. It is also coming up right next to EGA’s Al Taweelah smelter, in KEZAD’s “Aluminium Valley” to cut logistics cost and avoid supply bottlenecks.
Leoncie Mukundente, Managing Director of Mark Cables FZE, said: “Regional and global demand for power cables is growing due to the expansion of electricity grids to support the development of renewable power generation and to enable further electrification in developing countries. Increasingly, aluminium is being substituted for copper in power cables, to lower costs while delivering the performance required. This new plant will help meet this growing global demand, while creating further value in the UAE from our nation’s aluminium production.”
Adel Abubakar, Chief Marketing Officer of Emirates Global Aluminium, said: “We look forward to the construction of Mark Cables Power Solutions’ new plant, and to a new customer for our metal in the UAE. EGA’s aluminium supply has spurred the development of the downstream aluminium sector in the UAE, creating jobs and economic opportunity across the country in line with Make it in the Emirates.”
