Dana Steel

Dana Steel, a proud member of Dana Group, has been a cornerstone of the UAE’s industrial landscape since its inception in 1991. Founded by Dr. Birbal Dana, the family business has grown from a modest office in Dubai to a diversified conglomerate with significant interests in steel, oil, healthcare, real estate, and hospitality. Today, Dana Group employs over 1,000 people across three continents, operating eight factories in industrial hubs like Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Ajman.

Dana Steel is Dana Group’s first entity in the industrial space and is a reputed producer of flat-rolled steel products – a niche segment in the steel industry, and also a downstream manufacturer of value-added steel products serving different industries.

Speaking of their latest initiative for growth, Dana Steel recounts their seamless experience of setting up their state-of-the-art factory in KEZAD, set to be operational by the end of this year. Dana Steel’s expansion in KEZAD is part of the company’s larger goal of integrating their steel factories with the best available infrastructure and logistics support to better serve the growing demand in markets they are already present in, namely – the GCC, Africa, US, Canada and Europe.
REQUIREMENTS
Being a seasoned player in the UAE’s industrial landscape, Dana Steel wanted to be part of a robust manufacturing ecosystem that would support their expansion plans and contribute to their strategic growth. A central and well-connected location with logistics proficiency would enable them to supply high quality steel efficiently and economically, maximising value for their global customer base. A global transportation network with proximity to crucial gateways for global trade such as Khalifa Port and Jebel Ali Port was a key requirement. Additionally, being on the border of Abu Dhabi and Dubai was critical for easy and quick access to their factories as well as the GCC market.
SOLUTION
Businesses in the UAE benefit from the cutting-edge infrastructure of industrial parks, designed to support the growing demands of the manufacturing sector. Having been in the steel manufacturing business for two decades, Dana Steel has been a keen spectator of the UAE’s phenomenal growth story and an enthusiastic participant in its industrial progress. The exceptional economic growth seen in the last three years especially is a result of concerted efforts to build industrial zones that are conducive to such growth. Discerning KEZAD’s advanced infrastructure and competent logistics ecosystems that propel the development of industry, Dana Steel decided to leverage the opportunities offered for steel manufacturing.

Coming to KEZAD was a conscious choice for the competitive advantage provided by its central location, connectivity to regional and global markets and the multipronged offerings suited to our business. The world-class infrastructure of its collaborative industrial ecosystems and seamless customer service are unparalleled bonuses for business establishments.
