Dubai – Pearl Group, parent company of Pearl Polyurethane Systems, has upgraded its polyester production plant in a move the company claims will double Dubai’s locally produced polyester output.
The company is ramping up polyester polyol manufacturing at the plant, with over 80% of the increased production earmarked for export markets including Europe, Africa and Southeast Asia.
Pearl Group intends to increase exports in line with the expectations of the UAE government’s 2031 national plan, which seeks to lessen the Emirate’s dependence on revenue from oil exports.
Pearl Group CEO, Martin Kruzcinna said: “Our corporate strategy is closely aligned with the UAE Government’s 2031 national plan and its overarching goals to boost the Dubai manufacturing sector and increase exports. With increasing geopolitical uncertainty, our mission has been to provide manufacturers and polyester users, both in the UAE and internationally, with greater supply chain resilience and to reduce prolonged delivery waiting times.
“Our extensive plant upgrade and doubling in polyester production output not only benefits local manufacturers by eliminating international shipping costs, but positions Dubai as an international polyester export hub opening new international markets as far afield as Europe, South-East Asia, and Africa.”
