Since being incorporated in 1997, Emirates Rebar has grown into a key part of the UAE’s construction scene. Commencing commercial operations in early 1999, the firm has helped to generate a demand for factory fabricated steel reinforcement. This demand has allowed the firm to thrive, thanks to a constant process of innovation and expansion of capacity. The market requirement has been accentuated by the growing number of fast track infrastructure and commercial projects coming up all over UAE, led by the Emirates of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. It was one of the first Cut & Bent factories in UAE to be recognized and certified by UK CARES (UK Certification Authority for REinforcing Steels), the highest and most respected Certification Authority regarding the steel industry in the entire European and Afro-Gulf regions. The UK CARES Award certifies that the firm not only meets, but exceeds the stringent requirements of the latest version of ISO 9001.
