Emirates extrusions attains coveted ‘jotun pe-sdf approved applicator’ certification
Emirates Extrusions Factory (EEF), a subsidiary of M’Sharie LLC, the private equity arm of Dubai Investments PJSC, has recently attained the prestigious ‘Jotun PE-SDF Approved Applicator’ certification, following a thorough assessment of EEF’s powder-coating systems. In line with its deep commitment towards reinforcing the highest standards of quality in the aluminum extrusion industry, EEF is already an ISO 9001:2000 certified company.
Since its establishment in 1993, Emirates Extrusions Factory has grown to be one of the Middle East’s market leaders in the development, commercialization and production of high quality aluminum systems for architectural and non-architectural applications. The company is a recipient of the Ajman Industrial Excellence 2006 Silver Award.
“We are immensely pleased to be recipients of this coveted certification,” said Khalfan Al Suwaidi, Managing Director, EEF. “The Jotun Group is one of the world's leading manufacturers of paints, coatings and powder coatings and this certification is sure to open up new avenues for us as we strive to better serve the needs of this region.”
Similar to the requirements of the QUALICOAT certification, Jotun has implemented an SDF certification to ensure that the application of its powder coatings is being carried out to the highest quality standards. A series of audits conducted by the Jotun technical team confirmed that EEF completely satisfies all the requirements of the Jotun SDF certification.
The certification will allow EEF to be listed among the ranks of Jotun’s ‘Approved Applicators’, which in turn is widely circulated to architects, consultants, traders and fabricators across the UAE.
Aimed at further enhancing the quality of its anodized and powder coated profiles, EEF has recently carried out several modifications in its powder coating plant and laboratory. It recently introduced a new water treatment line with a quality less than 20 milligram (mg) per liter, ideal for anodizing, powder coating and pressing of aluminum profiles.
“This milestone has brought us one step closer towards our aim of attaining QUALICOAT certification. We will continue to invest in the latest technology and adopt new processes that enhance the quality of our products.”
QUALICOAT is a quality label organization committed to maintaining and promoting the quality of coating on aluminum and its alloys for architectural applications.
Emirates Extrusions Factory offers an impressive range of premium-quality, energy-efficient extruded aluminum profiles as part of its continuing strategy to consolidate its presence in the global market. The company's offerings include windows and doors, curtain wall, structural glazing, partition system, grill and hand rail systems.
