Senior Commanders, International delegates as well as those responsible for the safety of Dubai citizens gathered at the Versace Hotel to discuss the Innovation in Fire Safety that has taken place around the world. More than 200 VIP delegates joined Dubai Civil Defence to discuss further advances in technology, earlier collaboration as well as operational planning through a number of key seminars and panel discussions. 
 
With fire safety being an extremely important topic in the Dubai construction community, Amer Bin Ahmed, CEO of Knauf UAE was given special recognition by the community for its continuous involvement with the Fire Safety Forum and for being an example to the industry.
 
With research and development being critical components in combatting fire, the research that Knauf has done locally as well as globally is significant in securing our homes. By providing options for consultants which are tested and perform, they can ensure that only the best products are used in the emirate. 

During the event, Knauf was also asked to reward some of the leading people from the ministry, making it a moment of pride for the company and the team. 

Knauf's strength lies within specification, working with government authorities and consultants at the initial design stage to ensure the best performance and quality on the UAE's projects and future homes. The innovative group specialises in training those responsible for installation of these systems as well as having a dedicated site inspection team to guarantee quality is not compromised. In partnership to this a number of Knauf products are certified by Dubai Central Laboratory.

At the very heart of Knauf's philosophy is the vision set out by its CEO, Bin Ahmed, that they are a German company that is made in the UAE. It means that they combine the history, quality and knowledge of one of the largest manufacturing regions globally with a commitment to position the UAE as an export hub of quality. By creating strong, reliable and high performance materials locally, Knauf works in partnership with the UAE's commitment to sustainability as well as quality that can be exported throughout the world, all with the 'Made in UAE' seal.
