Amarak Chemicals FZC, an associate company of the Aries Group of Companies, has begun operations at a fully automated sulphur manufacturing facility at Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza) in Dubai, aiming to strengthen the supply of sulphur-based agricultural inputs to global markets.
The new plant will produce up to 60,000 metric tonnes per year of sulphur bentonite and other sulphur-allied products for the international agriculture sector. Designed with advanced digital process controls, the facility is fully automated to enhance productivity, operational precision and operator safety.
The facility was inaugurated by Shri B. G. Krishnan, Consul (Economic, Trade & Commerce), Consulate General of India, Dubai, in the presence of Saoud AlAwadhi, Director – Sales, Jafza, and members of the Aries Group board. Customers from seven countries attended the launch and signalled their intention to enter into long-term supply agreements, underlining rising global demand for agricultural inputs that promote soil health, crop yields and sustainable farming practices.
Abdulla Al Hashmi, COO, Parks & Zones, DP World GCC, said the development reinforces Jafza’s position as a key hub for chemicals and agribusiness. “The new sulphur manufacturing facility by Amarak Chemicals is a valuable addition to our growing chemicals sector, enhancing our ability to serve customers across the region and beyond. By improving access to essential agricultural inputs, this facility will help support farmers and strengthen food supply chains,” he said.
Amarak currently exports to more than 18 countries across South America, Asia-Pacific and other regions, including Brazil, Australia and New Zealand. The Jafza facility is expected to improve the company’s responsiveness to global demand by leveraging integrated logistics and consolidated production from a single hub.
The plant also benefits from the India-UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), which enables duty-free exports from the UAE to India. Amarak said this framework allows it to scale up UAE-based manufacturing while serving Indian and other international markets more competitively.
Dr. Rahul Mirchandani, Group Chairman of the Aries Group of Companies, said the investment reflects the company’s long-term strategy to expand its global footprint in agricultural inputs. He noted that Jafza’s infrastructure and connectivity reduce logistics costs, shorten time to market and support expansion into key geographies.
Amarak has also secured long-term partnerships with leading sulphur suppliers in the UAE to ensure raw material security, consistent quality and uninterrupted supply, signalling deeper industrial collaboration between India and the UAE.
