Abu Dhabi Ports announced that Gemini Building Materials (GEMINI), one of the leading importers and traders of building materials in the UAE, has started construction of their new manufacturing venture Gemini Technical Industries at Khalifa Industrial Zone Abu Dhabi, the company said in its press release.
With an investment of AED 30 million, GEMINI has secured an 11,668-sq m plot of land in the industrial zone’s KP-5 area, where this newly established subsidiary will set up its new facility. Constructions are expected to be finalized by the end of Q1 2015, with plans to start operations by May 2015.
This facility will be GEMINI’s next big venture in addition to its 18 branches and four logistics points which are spread over the UAE and Oman. The manufacturing facility will focus on producing high quality and competitively priced building products namely aluminum ceilings, T–Grid ceiling suspension systems and metal profiles that cater to the ‘interior finishing’ market. The need for consistent quality, smooth supply chains and better pricing in the market led GEMINI to take on this new venture.
