Mai Dubai launches fastest bottled water production line in the region

Mai Dubai, the bottled water company fully owned by the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa), has made a landmark milestone with the launch of the fastest bottled water production line in Asia, Oceania, and Africa (AOA) region.

Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of Dewa, inaugurated Mai Dubai’s game-changing water line, which was completed in collaboration with Sidel, leading provider of equipment and services solutions for packaging beverage, food, home and personal care products in PET, can and glass.

The newly opened facility leverages Sidel’s state-of-the-art ‘Super Combi’ technology to produce a maximum output of 86,000 bottles per hour. Mai Dubai is going to capitalise on this top-level performance to expand its bottled water business and cement its lead in the industry.

“Establishing Mai Dubai bottled drinking-water company and factory supports the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to provide potable water according to the highest international standards and make Dubai the happiest city on earth for residents and visitors. Mai Dubai’s collaboration with Sidel comes at a time of increased consumer demand for bottled drinking water products in the region," Al Tayer said.

"The maximum output achieved in less time will enable us to effectively meet the need of our local communities while leveling up our commitment to hygiene, safety, and cost optimisation. This is also a major step towards Mai Dubai’s efforts to minimize waste of resources, especially during the water bottling process. Our mutually supportive partnership comes with numerous advantages that will ultimately benefit all our stakeholders, who include the wider members of our society,” Al Tayer added.
