Gulf Jyoti International LLC (GJI), a joint venture company between Gulf Investment Corporation, Kuwait, and Jyoti Structures Limited, India, has announced the setting up of a state-of-the-art transmission tower manufacturing facility at Dubai Investments Park.
The new facility will have the latest technology and equipment to enable the plant to achieve a production capacity of 33,000 tonnes per year on a two-shift basis. The presence of a world-class manufacturing facility of this kind in the UAE is expected to significantly contribute to the country’s diverse business potential.
Khalid J Kalban, managing director and CEO, Dubai Investments, said: “Over the years, Dubai Investments Park has been attracting several leading regional and international companies that have successfully set up operations and tapped the market potential of the region. The range of facilities and services available at the park has been one of the factors that have attracted a diverse portfolio of clients.”
Kalban said GJI’s technologically advanced facility would aid critical power transmission infrastructure development in the region and contribute to its overall economic progress. “The company will have several strategic advantages by operating from Dubai Investments Park, which offers its tenants a range of benefits such as quality infrastructure facilities and support services,” he said.
The infrastructure facilities at Dubai Investments Park include extensive and well-planned road, electricity and water networks, state-of-the-art telecommunications services, wastewater treatment plants and irrigation and fire-fighting systems.
“We will offer GJI all the assistance they require in successfully carrying out their operations from the park. One of the main objectives of the park is to support the manufacturing sector in the region and provide a base for industrial development,” Kalban said.
Commenting on the new facility, Mohammed Al-Melhem, chairman, Gulf Jyoti International, said, “Our decision to set up this modern transmission tower manufacturing facility at Dubai Investments Park is certain to pay rich dividends as the park is a comprehensive, self-contained business zone. The proximity of the park to the Jebel Ali port is another factor that will smoothen our operations here. We will be adopting the most advanced technology in our new facility which will help us achieve an excellent production capacity.”
Dubai Investments Park has tenants from diverse industrial sectors such as pharmaceuticals, property development, metal treatment and insulation materials, water purification, boiling and distribution, heavy-duty steel fabrication, cold storage, building systems, distribution of TV satellite equipment and the manufacture of cast steel valves for the oil, gas and water industries as well as plastic pipes and accessories.
The park consists of four business zones including the Industrial Zone, Commercial Zone, the Residential Zone and Recreational Zone. It also hosts leading international schools, thus making it a mini-educational zone.
