Created with the vision of combining aesthetics and craftsmanship with manufacturing excellence, Crystal Arc Group (CAG) is a UAE based company making great strides in the global marketplace.

In 2001, two dynamic individuals, Emirati businessman Faisal Seddiq M. Samea Al Mutawa and experienced entrepreneur Mustansir Saifuddin came together to found CAG in Dubai. Their combined manufacturing and business knowledge hasled the company from strength to strength.

Beginning operations with a staff of 19, today CAG has over 300 employees housed in a sprawling 35,000 square foot production facility located in the city’s prime manufacturing area of Al Quoz.

A manufacturing conglomerate that has become the vendor of choice for royalty, leading businesses and individuals, CAG comprises of four subsidiaries: Crystal Arc, Nakawa, Creative Glass Graphics and Metal Arc, each a leader in its own niche.

The fascinating story of CAG’s growth begins with its flagship brand – Crystal Arc. Born of a simple desire to make crystalware of impeccable quality and design, Crystal Arc takes an ancient craft to new heights through harnessing creativity in design while adhering to the highest international standards. In addition to creating gifts and awards that are certain to make once in a lifetime events even more memorable, Crystal Arc crafts exquisite tableware and artifacts to adorn interior environments. Fusing a vision of beauty with skillful craftsmanship and cutting edge technology, Crystal Arc is an industry pioneer in the Middle East.

While crystalware is CAG’s forte, the group has recently diversified into the lifestyle goods segment; capturing the hearts and imagination of demanding and discerning customers all over the world.

Nakawa, the group’s highly successful brand of exclusive crystal objets d’art, pays homage to eternal elegance and everlasting beauty. Specialising in one-of-a-kind art collectibles, each piece of Nakawa’s eclectic range possesses a rare allure. Stories from life, mythology or culture are brought alive in exquisite detail. With creative input from artists across the world, the Nakawa product line perfectly blends different aesthetic sensibilities. Each Nakawa piece encapsulates perfection, with orders individually passed through rigorous quality control checks.

CAG aims to deliver excellence in all it creates. Nakawa is a true representation of this aspiration in terms of both design and craftsmanship. Every piece is a bit of crystal poetry, infusing charm into contemporary homes, offices, hotels and premium venues.

The success of the group’s crystalware brands prompted its foray into another intriguing venture. CAG subsidiary Creative Glass Graphics specialises in customised glass solutions; beautiful stained glass and acid-etched creatives, doors, washbasins, murals and sand blasted pieces are just a few of the products in its diverse portfolio.

Exploring the myriad possibilities of glass, Creative Glass Graphics provides solutions for all kinds of ventures from government projects, hotels and resorts, to villas and private residences.

The subsidiary’s commissions cater to diverse sensibilities and tastes – conservative or edgy, spiritual or corporate. Within a few years since its inception, Creative Glass Graphics is now the first choice for bespoke interior commissions. Its glass solutions showcase the potential of this wonderful material to transform any space.

Building on the group’s commitment to expansion and innovation, CAG introduced Metal Arc to its portfolio of brands. Founded to meet a growing demand from discerning clients, Metal Arc redefines crystal as we know it – combining it with other materials, such as wood and metal, to produce a unique, artistic line of awards, trophies, giftware and more.

Metal Arc allows clients to benefit from the endless possibilities mixed media offers while simultaneously broadening the group’s manufacturing base.

This innovative subsidiary employs technical and design expertise from all over the world to add elegance and glamour to its growing product line.

Encouraged by the response from global consumers and the ever-increasing demand for products, the group is now working to triple production capacity in the near future. Owing to the line’s broad appeal, CAG aims to take Metal Arc beyond the Middle East and meet demand from around the world.

Along with its craft, CAG believes sustainability is a vital cornerstone of its business. The group is constantly striving

to shrink its ecological footprint. As a regional business on the threshold of global expansion, the company has a vested stake in protecting the environment in which it operates. All its subsidiaries have established policies in place to provide a safe and healthy workplace, reduce waste, reuse and recycle materials for products and packaging, and to conserve energy – which in turn has benefited both its businesses and clientele.

Today, CAG is poised to become the first international conglomerate of its kind, born in the Middle East. The group strives to deliver exactly what clients need; bringing their vision to life with endless options to customise all products to meet individual requirements.

Using the latest technology, years of experience, a highly specialised workforce and designers skilled at interpreting client requirements, CAG aims to consistently deliver excellence and set the industry benchmark for quality and innovation.

century BC by Emperor Ashoka to mark the spot where Buddha first proclaimed his gospel of peace and emancipation to the four quarters of the universe. The national emblem is thus

symbolic of contemporary India’s reaffirmation of its ancient commitment to world peace and goodwill. The four lions

symbolise power, courage, pride and confidence.

From trade to warfare, the humble camel has played a crucial role in the history of the Arab world. Camels were

inextricably woven into the very fabric of Bedouin life. They shared the nomadic lifestyle of the Bedouin, an interdependent relationship in which the camel was

often a friend and a lifelong companion.

The Arabian mare was beloved as the most precious possession of the Bedouin. She was his chosen mount in

battle. And upon her, the legendary acclaim of the Arabian breed was founded. Courage, stamina, strength, intelligence, endurance and beauty are her legacy to not only the Arabian horse of the last five millennia, but to the greater population

of light horses celebrated the world over.
