On September 28, Dubai-based metal manufacturer United Metal Coating LLC (UMC) started its operations at its new facility for continuous coil coating, located in the base metal zone of Dubai Industrial City.
Accordingly, UMC will manufacture pre-painted aluminum and galvanized steel coils in various thicknesses and widths with an annual production capacity of 75,000 metric tons, for the end application of building products including roofing and claddings, as well as interior false ceilings and rolling shutters.
UMC also has a double loop slitting line to slit the painted coils into different widths. The coil coating line's equipment has been imported from Germany, the UK, the US and India.
According to UMC's managing partner Souheil Hatoum, more than 50 percent of UMC products from this facility will be exported to Europe, while the remaining quantity will be slated for consumption in the UAE, GCC and the Middle East.
