EGL’s acquisition of this state-of-the-art coating line joins the ranks of many other accomplishments that embellish the company’s showcase of successes. The new production facility upgrade is part of an overall expansion programme worth Dh175 million as the company relocates its entire operations to the Dubai Investments Park, or DIP, and will also house the company’s new headquarters.

The new glass coating line, the Terra G machine, is set to boost the company’s current production capacity threefold up to 3.7 million square metres of various types of coated glass per annum.

Imported from Germany, the 219-metre long new coating line, capable of handling jumbo size stock sheets in addition to regular size glass, is now undergoing installation at EGL’s new manufacturing facilities at the DIP and heralds the arrival of a new generation of offline coating technology in the region.
