A Dubai-based SWS Board Technology, a manufacturer producing nearly half of the world's kiteboards and wakeboards, has been awarded the prestigious Dubai-it Award for economic achievement. Crown Prince of Dubai, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, presented the honor to Rainier Nouhra, the company's founder. The company's annual production capacity exceeds 450,000 boards, and over six million boards have been sold globally.
SWS Board Technology has established an integrated industrial chain, developing products for leading snow and water sports brands while investing in research and development to enhance quality and efficiency. Sheikh Hamdan praised the company's ability to identify opportunities in unexpected places, transforming Dubai's image from a desert city into a global manufacturing powerhouse.
The company has also implemented a program to reuse about 95% of board materials, promoting the circular economy. The award recognizes SWS Board Technology's rapid growth and dominance in a market where the region previously had limited presence.
