CUSTOMER SERVICE
Ducab is the premier cable manufacturer in the United Arab Emirates and, since 1979, has been meeting the
requirements of customers throughout the GCC, Middle East and Asian markets. Ducab cables are preferred for the
following reasons:

PRODUCT QUALITY
Ducab is committed to supplying its customers with the highest quality of product and of service.
Ducabs cables have been type approved by recognized certifying bodies such as BASEC UK
(British Approval Service for Cables), Lloyds Register of the UK, KEMA Netherland, LPCB
UK (Loss Prevention Certification Board), ESMA (Emirates Authority for standardization and
Metrology). They fully conform to BS, IEC other international and national specifications.
In addition, Ducab was presented with the Dubai Quality Award 1994, for the best local industrial
company of the year. Ducab won Dubai Quality Gold Category award twice, in 1998 and in 2004.
The Gold Award rewards the most distinguished companies which are judged to be world class
and Ducab is the only manufacturing company in the region to win such acclaim.
Ducab has won the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum (MRM) Business Excellence Award in manufacturing
category in 2009. Recognizing quality products and services, Ducab has also won the Superbrand award for 4 years
consecutively from 2009.

RELIABILITY
Specifying the right cable for a particular application is the first step. The key to reliability however, is in the manufacturing
process. The cable must be free from material and manufacturing defects, and weaknesses that will be revealed in
service.
Ducab constantly monitors its manufacturing processes and operates stringent quality assurance procedures to give
long term reliability. This is of vital significance where cables are to be installed in locations where future access would
be difficult and this is where Ducabs reputation and resources give peace of mind.

PERFORMANCE
Optimum cable performance can be provided only by a company such as Ducab, with access to the latest developments
in materials technology. In addition, Ducabs knowledge of application requirements throughout the Middle and Far East
is an assurance of high performance.
Our experienced Technical Staff can provide guidance on cable selection and installation and can ensure that you get
the right cable for the job.

HEALTH & SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CERTIFIED TO OHSAS 18001
