Abu Dhabi: Ducab, a leading UAE-based provider of energy solutions, has notched up an outstanding 96.89% In-Country Value (ICV) score. Complementing its focused localization strategy that has led to 40% of its industrial raw materials being procured from within the country, Ducab is among the UAE's key industrial enablers contributing to realizing the national ambition of shaping an innovation-led economy.
According to Emirates News Agency, Ducab's participation at Make it in the Emirates 2025, running from May 19-22 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), underlines the company's growing status as a leading UAE exporter of innovation and sustainable energy.
Celebrating its 45-year milestone in 2024 with the expansion of its global footprint to 75 markets worldwide and doubling its aluminium production capacity, Ducab's role in positioning the UAE as a global hub for high-quality, advanced, and clean manufacturing is significant. Today, exports account for 60% of Ducab's production, emphasizing the company's influence on the international stage.
Ducab's journey of innovation spans over 5,000 completed projects and partnerships with 500 local projects accomplished last year. Its robust portfolio includes 85,000 specialized cable variants and globally certified products. The GCC's first High Voltage (HV) Fiber Optic cable is already delivering smarter, greener, and more resilient power solutions to support smart grids and infrastructure. Ducab's innovations align with UAE Net Zero by 2050 and the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050.
Gert Hoefman, Interim Group CEO of Ducab, stated that Ducab has been a leader in the UAE's industrial renaissance since the launch of the National Strategy for Industry and Advanced Technology. He highlighted the company's progress in increasing production, launching sustainable products to support decarbonization, and exploring new markets. Ducab's significant presence at Make it in the Emirates this year reinforces its efforts in shaping the future of sustainable power transmission in the UAE and beyond.
In 2020, Ducab launched its Ducab Metals Business (DMB) and acquired GIC Magnet in 2024, introducing paper-insulated aluminium strips essential for electric vehicles (EVs), transformers, and electromagnets to its growing portfolio. DMB is the region's only approved supplier for these products in the US market. DMB sources its molten aluminium from EGA, enabling Ducab to access high-growth sectors and support industries transitioning to greener technologies.
Ducab is heavily invested in advancing sustainable manufacturing, accelerating its RandD investments to tackle the evolving needs of the energy sector, and prioritizing the strengthening of the home-grown supply chain. Its investment in Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies is enhancing precision, efficiency, and scale in local manufacturing while shaping future-ready solutions in energy, mobility, data, and heavy industry.
