According to a recent report, Pyrotek Inc. is likely to complete construction in November of a new manufacturing facility in Dubai, which will serve and supply the rapidly growing aluminium smelting operations in the region. By January 2020, Pyrotek is scheduled to occupy the facility.
The first phase of construction will reportedly provide 66,000 square feet of floor space. The construction contractor is Pax-Kent International LLC based in Dubai.
Nigel Clear, Pyrotek’s General Manager in the region, said: “This plant will grow our footprint in the heart of one of the major global aluminium smelting regions. It’s also very close to EGA (Emirates Global Aluminium). Combined, EGA is the biggest aluminium producer in the Persian Gulf.”
The new Pyrotek plant will concentrate on manufacturing several major product lines and provide faster delivery of specific customised products in the region.
“It’s all about improving our service and shortening delivery times—prototyping and then supplying custom products fast,” Clear said.
The plant will also have an in-house design and engineering department. That engineering team will be built up and developed with specific training over time.
Pyrotek is functioning in Dubai for last 20 years and currently operating sales and warehousing facility in the Jebel Ali Free Zone that serves the UAE, Oman, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon and northern Africa. Along with providing products to companies in the aluminium industry, the existing facility supplies glass, steel, and noise control industry customers.
