There are few companies in our trade who would not desire the incredible immediate growth and potential market expansion that the new machines will offer Emirates Glass. This is indeed a historic day for Emirates Glass " said Jerry Dowling, General Manager, Emirates Glass.

The recent include the purchase installation of the ultra-modern Lisec automatic glass-cutting table that will deliver Emirates Glass, in comparison to other machines now in operation at other companies, a formidable triple production capacity.
