Emirates Float Glass partners with HORN Glass Industries AG to double production capacity and introduce Ultra Clear Low-Iron Glass.

Emirates Float Glass (EFG), a subsidiary of Dubai Investments, is set to double its production capacity from the current 600 to 1,200 tons per day with the addition of a second float line.

The new line will also introduce the production of Ultra Clear Low-Iron Glass – a first-of-its-kind capability in the MENA region.

Scheduled to become operational between late 2027 and early 2028, the new float line will integrate advanced automation, energy-efficient systems, and next-generation process controls to ensure consistent product quality, operational reliability, and reduced energy consumption.

The project is being realized in close collaboration with HORN Glass Industries AG, which has been selected as the supplier of the complete technological line, including all essential utilities and media supply systems. In addition, a UAE-based civil works contractor and an international project administration firm are involved in the implementation.

Designed with a strong focus on energy efficiency and environmental responsibility, the project reflects Dubai Investments’ commitment to sustainable industrial growth and innovation in glass manufacturing.
