Ducab Metals Business (DMB), a leading UAE-based producer of high-quality copper and aluminium solutions, is expanding its operations to support the UAE’s industrial strategy and economic diversification. With a strong presence in global markets, DMB continues to enhance its contributions to the UAE’s industrial sector, reinforcing the country’s position as a regional hub for advanced manufacturing and exports.

DMB achieved a 12% revenue growth in 2024, with projections indicating a 15% increase in 2025. In terms of volume, the company recorded a 4% growth in 2024, with an estimated 21% surge in 2025, driven by increasing demand, new partnerships, and a commitment to industrial innovation.

DMB’s growth trajectory is strongly supported by the UAE-India Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA). This enables businesses to capitalize on reduced tariffs and enhanced trade framework, further strengthening  presence in the Indian market.

Mohamed Al Ahmedi, CEO of Ducab Metals Business, said: “The UAE is on a dynamic industrial growth route, driven by its focus on local manufacturing, sustainability, and global trade partnerships.

Operating with an annual production capacity of 300,000 tonnes, DMB continues to expand its market presence through strategic portfolio diversification. The acquisition of GIC Magnet diversified DMB’s product portfolio by adding copper and aluminium strips, strengthening its position in key downstream sectors including automotive, packaging, and healthcare.

With over 70% of its products exported to more than 75 countries across the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas, DMB continues to drive the UAE’s reputation as a key exporter of high-quality, sustainable industrial solutions.
