Borouge Plc and NAFFCO have signed a AED160mn (US$43.6mn) two-year whereby Borouge will supply polyethylene (PE100) materials for NAFFCO’s local and regional infrastructure projects
Under the two-year agreement, Borouge will provide advanced infrastructure solutions to NAFFCO for various infrastructure projects across the region, including the Guggenheim Museum, the Riyadh city project, Mohammad Bin Zayed City, the Yas Island Development Project, the Dubai Hills Project, Heat of Europe Island, and Etihad Water and Electricity projects.
Pressure pipes made from PE100 are corrosion and chemical-resistant and can withstand harsh industrial conditions, ranging from high levels of impact to abrasions and stress cracking. In addition, the pipes are notable for their long-term pressure resistance.
Hazeem Sultan Al Suwaidi, chief executive officer of Borouge, said, “Our partnership with NAFFCO underscores how Borouge is leveraging its advanced polyolefin technology to enhance mega projects and support the UAE's economic diversification and industrial growth. We are proud to be contributing to the nation’s economic landscape and demonstrating that locally manufactured products are synonymous with global excellence."
Ahmed Khalid Al Khatib, Group Managing Director of NAFFCO, said: “Partnering with Borouge allows us to enhance our offering to ever-growing markets such as the UAE. NAFFCO’s commitment to innovation and sustainability, particularly in producing high-quality, ‘Made In UAE’ pipes, aligns with the mission of providing the best in fire safety. This collaboration underlines our commitment to leading the industry, driving innovation, and positioning the UAE at the forefront of fire safety technology.”
