Ducab, the leading manufacturers of high quality power cables in the UAE, was recently awarded a contract valued at Dh24 million by Daelim Industrial Co Ltd, a leading Korean construction company, for the supply of power and control cables for Kuwait Oil Company's (KOC) key effluent water disposal plant project.


Colin Paskins says: "Ducab's uncompromising quality focus, timely delivery and strategic location reconfirms its position as the preferred partner for oil, gas and petrochemical projects in the Middle East".
Colin Paskins, Ducab managing director, said, "Since its inception in 1979, Ducab has established a tradition that combines a high degree of quality assurance with cutting-edge technological innovations to deliver cable solutions at par with global standards of excellence.

"Ducab has always emphasised quality in its oraganisation and is certified to ISO 9000:2000 quality management systems and ISO 14001 environment protection systems."

"With this contract, Ducab reconfirms its position as the preferred partner for oil, gas and petrochemical projects in the Middle East."

Under the terms of the contract, Ducab will supply 6.35/11 kilovolt lead sheathed power cables and pilot cables for the project in southeast Kuwait.

The contract was won by Ducab against stiff competition from other GCC and international cable manufacturers through a stringent selection process by KOC.

"Ducab's uncompromising quality focus, timely delivery and strategic location ultimately won the project," said S.I. Chang, president of Sangmin Consultancy Trading, consultants for the KOC project.

The competitive bidding for the project was co-ordinated through Rezayat, Ducab's business associate in Kuwait.

With the award of the contract in Kuwait, Ducab has gained yet another prestigious project in the Middle East.

In 2003, Ducab registered impressive growth marked by a successful entry into the subcontinent and Tanzanian markets with stellar orders.

Currently, Ducab is going through a major expansion phase, with a new facility coming up in Abu Dhabi.

The subsequent increase in capacity will drive an increase in the company's already substantial market share.
