Qemtex Chemical Holding announced the launch of its new powder coatings plant in the UAE.
The facility, situated in the Umm Al Quwain Free Trade Zone, produces a range of products, including architectural, industrial, and specialized powder coatings. Production capacity expansion will be implemented in two stages: the initial output of 5,000 tons per year will be increased to 10,000 tons during the second stage. Qemtex plans to allocate at least 30% of its production to the UAE domestic market, with the remaining 70% destined for export to GCC, MENA, EU, and US markets.
