Datalec Doubles Down on the Middle EastDatalec Precision Installations Doubles Down on the Middle EastManufacturing is only the beginning with the Dubai facility as the new Regional Head OfficeDatalec Precision Installations announced a new manufacturing facility in the United Arab Emirates marking its strong commitment to the region. The dedicated 51,000-square-foot facility will produce aisle containment and security caging to DPI’s exacting standards. As part of DPI’s strategic growth, the business has further committed to the Middle East region by developing its regional team, investing, and mirroring its European manufacturing capabilities in Dubai. Fully operational by the end of Summer, the new facility will also serve as its Regional Head Office, including a marketing suite and a training room. “Sustainability was not just a consideration, but a key factor in our site selection,” says Sean Christie, Projects Director for Datalec in the Middle East. “The focus is on delivering manufactured products with an effort to reduce embodied carbon within the final products, demonstrating our commitment to environmental responsibility.” The facility features a 450-kilowatt rooftop solar array, providing on-site renewable power. The building is strategically located near national air and sea freight infrastructure to improve project delivery lead times and reduce transportation emissions. Most of the supply chain materials are also sourced locally within a 20-kilometre radius. DPI plans further investment in an in-house Powder Coating facility to replicate the arrangement in the company’s UK Headquarters. Source: Datalec Precision Installations media announcement |
