Qemtex Chemical Holding reaches full capacity, weighs expansion of up to Dh40 million

Umm Al Quwain-based powder coatings manufacturer Qemtex has announced that its production plant in the UAE is currently operating at full capacity, less than two years after production commenced. The achievement is attributed to the high demand from the GCC's real estate and infrastructure sectors. In light of this success, Qemtex is currently evaluating an investment of up to Dh40 million in order to expand its production capacity, upgrade its equipment, and enhance its technical capabilities.

This potential investment would be in line with the objectives of the UAE's Operation 300bn industrial strategy and the Make it in the Emirates initiative. The expansion plans are currently under review, with the decision pending a market demand assessment and a commitment to sustainable manufacturing. Qemtex CEO Chingiz Ibragimov stated that reaching full production capacity in less than two years is a significant milestone, reflecting the trust placed in Qemtex by its customers and partners.

The company currently serves both domestic and international markets in the GCC, the wider Middle East, and Africa, and holds international certifications for architectural and industrial coating applications. It also has a dedicated R&D center focused on developing powder coatings tailored to the region's climate. Once the expansion plans are finalized, Qemtex will announce the specific scope, the investment amount, and the implementation timeline.
