A new quarter and just anotherreason for a new edition of

It is exciting enough to have participated in exhibitionsin Bahrain and Qatar for the first time but it only getsbetter knowing that the feedback we received washighly encouraging - both for us and our JV partners.
Furthermore, the local markets there have welcomed uswith open arms.
Cable tonnes output and sales orders are not the onlyactivities that have kept us busy. Not surprisingly, thespirit of team building seems to grow and prosper further

also helped us bond with our key customers such asETA, NASA Multiplex, BILT ME etc. Such tournamentsare not only a great way to enhance personal interactionwith our customers; it’s also really interesting to deal withthem both - on and off the field! We are introducing theMarket Pulse column in this issue. It aims to give regularinsights on various aspects of the economy. We beginwith the construction sector, which industry expertspredict will see consolidation and lay greater emphasison the infrastructure projects.
As we draw closer to our 30th Anniversary it will be a
pleasure to highlight our celebrations in subsequenteditions of CableTalk. We received overwhelmingresponse to the 30 Years Anniversary - logo designcompetition and I sincerely thank each and everyonewho participated in the competition; the winner will beannounced shortly.
Every anniversary is a reason for celebration and moreso when we reach such a great milestone!

Excellence led by employee commitment
A s the old adage goes, when the times get tough, the tough get going.
Faced with unprecedented challenges in local and world markets,
now is the time for businesses to be tough, to prove their resilience
and demonstrate their strengths.
Ducab is one of those businesses and we believe that addressing the reality
of the current situation is the only way forward. Markets have changed and
we must respond to maintain our leadership with better service, innovative
ideas to support our customers and more ef ficient use of our resources. We
are fortunate in these times that we have a large base of high quality and
resilient customers with whom we work closely.
Despite the recent changes in the local markets we are still confident of
growth for the company and indeed, the economic turmoil is presenting
additional opportunities.
In the MENA region Ducab is aggressively expanding its regional salesnetwork; offering support to our existing customers and introducing our
brand to new markets. There is competition wherever we go but we are confident that our traditional strengths of
quality, service and value will be appreciated in these markets.
Closer to home we recently launched one of our most ambitious and exciting expansion programmes in partnership
with DEWA and ADWEA - Ducab HV.
The new AED 500 million Ducab HV factory, already under construction near the head-quarters in Jebel Ali, will take
us into the most demanding high technology areas of energy cable manufacturing. The new JV plant will be one of
the few purpose-built EHV facilities worldwide and will certainly be one of the most modern and up to date.
Manufacturing cables up to 400kV, this new business gives Ducab people an opportunity to upgrade their skills and
knowledge and build yet another new capability in the UAE’s industrial base.
Our focus on internal ef ficiency and excellence is also showing results in different ways. Continual Improvement calls
for the active involvement of every employee at all levels in the company. The enthusiastic response to the Ducab
Suggest “cost saving month” in February highlights this commitment and the insightful and practical thinking that is
so valuable for the growth of the organisation.
It is this commitment and passion of Ducab employees that is the driving force for “Business Excellence”. It is a great
honour this passion has been recognised with the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Business Award 2008 in the
Manufacturing Category, presented to us in April 2009.
Our cover story features this prestigious award and I am proud to take this opportunity to thank all Ducab staff,
customers and stakeholders; it is your support that has helped us earn this honour.
The Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Business Award and the investment in Ducab HV are indeed the latest
milestones in Ducab’s part in the growth story of the UAE; investing in people, knowledge and the country’s
infrastructure.
Thank you all
Best regards

T he energy landscape of the Arab world and the
investments planned in the power sector were the
highlights of the Arabian Power & Water Summit
organized by MEED.
Ducab participated in the event as a Gold Sponsor to the
Summit held on March 30 & 31, 2009 at the Emirates
Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi.
H.E. Abdulla Saif Al Nuaimi, Director of Privatization, Abu
Dhabi Water & Electricity Authority (ADWEA), delivered the
key note address. More than 400 delegates attended the
Summit where 58 leading industry speakers discussed
various topics related to power and water. These included
Sustainable Business Development; Ef ficient Power for
Urban Development; Privatisation as an answer to Energy
Shortage; Raising Finance; Desalination and Alternative
Energies and Customer Focus.

future with the new Ducab HV plant; a joint venture with
DEWA and ADWEA. Ducab HV will reduce the country’s
dependence on imports of high voltage cables and alsoprovide more than 100 job opportunities.
According to research by MEED, more than US$50 billion
(AED183 billion) will be invested in the power sector in
the Gulf countries in the next seven years in which the
UAE alone with invest US$18 billion (AED66 billion). The
projected demand for additional capacity in the GCC
is 57,000 megawatts (MW) in the next seven years
and of which 35% is UAE’s demand. This high volume
of investments is to meet the projected demand for an
additional capacity of power by the GCC region in sevenyears. The UAE will need an additional 20,000 MW.
With this forecast, it clearly indicates the towering
importance of power and water in the years to come.

and honours the outstanding contribution of the
winners to the economy.
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed has been an ardent
advocate on the need to diversify the economy and
focus on the growth of the manufacturing sector.
His commitment to quality and business excellence
is legendary and is an inspiration for the business
community.
It is therefore with a great sense of pride that Ducab
received the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum
Business Award.
Mr. Ahmad bin Hassan Al Shaikh said: “It is an
honor to accept this award for Manufacturing and
to be recognized for our contribution to the UAE.
It is a testament to the hard work and dedication
of our employees and the support of Sheikh
Mohammed.’’
His Excellency Sultan Bin Saeed Al Mansouri,
Minister of Economy and chairman of the awards
jury, said, “The winners would be an example for
others to follow as the participating companies will
get accurate evaluation and feedback report on theirperformance and achievements and can come back

several management and performance criteria. Five
elements are considered – leadership perspectives,
strategic initiatives, quality imperatives, corporate

and society.
Ducab’s leading-edge:
For Ducab, winning the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al
Maktoum Award in the Manufacturing Category
comes from years of commitment to quality and
excellence. With great attention to detail, every
aspect of the company’s manufacturing process
has been streamlined, starting from the purchase of
state-of-art machinery.
Ducab has forged strong bonds with its suppliers,mostly from Europe, thus ensuring that the best and
latest equipment is made available. This relationship

n a landmark agreement signed on the sidelines
of the WETEX exhibition, the two major UAE utility
providers, ADWEA and DEWA, have joined forceswith Ducab in a new joint venture to manufacture
high voltage cable systems.
This joint venture is in line with Ducab’s commitment
to explore and identify growth opportunities and
therefore the company has joined hands with two of
the UAE’s leading utility providers – Dubai Electricity
and Water Authority (DEWA) and Abu Dhabi Water
and Electricity Authority (ADWEA) to set up this
manufacturing facility.
Ducab will hold a 50 per cent share while DEWA and
ADWEA, will each have 25 per cent stake in the new
joint venture. The new company, Ducab – HV, will operate from a
22,000 square meter manufacturing factory that is
currently under construction next to Ducab’s facility
in Jebel Ali.
The announcement of Ducab – HV was at a press
conference at WETEX exhibition, Dubai on 30th of
March 2009. It was attended by senior of ficials of
all the three companies and prominent print and
broadcast media members.

Billed to reduce the country’s dependence on
imports of high voltage cable systems that are used
in energy transmission lines, the new facility will be
operational in the last quarter of 2010 and has the
capacity to manufacture 30,000 tonnes per year of
66 to 400 kV cables.
Mr. Saeed Al Darmaki, Deputy Managing Director
of TRANSCO, a subsidiary of ADWEA, said that the
plant will play a key role in supporting the nation’s
economy and will be a milestone for the UAE
industrial sector. He said the partnership
complements Abu Dhabi Government’s Strategic
Plan to diversify the economy and create new job
opportunities for Emiratis.
His Excellency Saeed Mohd Al Tayer MD & CEO of
DEWA observed that the project is a reflection of
the UAE’s vision to grow the industrial sector and
national infrastructure.
The importance of Ducab HV was highlighted by
Ducab Chairman Mr. Ahmad bin Hassan Al-Shaikh
who said “As the population in the region continues
to grow so too does the demand for electricity and
power.” Ducab HV will support this demand in the
future.

eeping pace with the sprinting infrastructure
developments was a challenge in early 2008.
All the projects were racing to finish and the
developers and contractors along with suppliers were
booked to full capacity. It was the on-time delivery which
was the key factor to winning an order.
Fast forward to the present, and we see a lot of projects
being retendered. The credit issue surfaced around
October 2008, and then onwards projects were either put
on-hold or even cancelled.
The developers and contractors are now paying more
attention to the ‘project economics’ and are looking
at feasibility. They want to draw benefi
t from the fall of construction material prices.
A survey was conducted in a recent conference - Arab
World Construction Summit organised by MEED. The
results of which clearly indicated the tempo of the market,
87% of the participating companies had at least one
project canceled or postponed in the last 3 months, while
one third faced the same with 5 or more projects. Over
60% of the participating companies saw their ‘forward
order book’ shrink compared to the last year.
Looking within & beyond GCC
The UAE home market had a lot of projects initiated in the
period of 2007-08 which are now seeing the light of the
day. The world’s tallest tower – the Burj Dubai and the first
metro network in GCC will be inaugurated on 09/09/09.
Ducab has been involved in both of these projects with
supply of low and medium voltage cables.
The pace of the home markets is now reaching to a more
realistic level rather than the inflated growth rate. This
will encourage companies to look within and beyond the
GCC and expand their geographic reach.
The most attractive regions outside the GCC are Libya
followed by Egypt, Iraq Algeria & Morocco for the
developers and contractors.
Within the GCC, it is Saudi Arabia, Qatar and UAE with
Abu Dhabi in particular which will lead the construction
activity. Saudi Arabia has 70% of their 24.3mn population
under the age of 30 years and so their housing requirement
is huge. The incremental demand for housing is forecast
at over 1.3 million units over the next 7 years – which
requires an investment of nearly $180bn. At the same
time, Abu Dhabi is addressing the pent up demand for
housing and preparing for the expected growth in the
coming years through infrastructure development.
The emerging trend witnessed in the conference, was
the prominence of government-funded infrastructure
and building projects in the Gulf construction sector.
The regional drive to develop schools, hospitals and
affordable housing is expected to provide the strongest
opportunities in the coming year with nearly 22% saying
that the public-sector building projects would provide
the best new opportunities. This is followed by power
projects (21%), water & wastewater projects (14%), roads
& bridges projects (13%).
To capture and utilize these opportunities in this dynamic
market, companies need to be flexible with a quality &
service focus to succeed and survive.

Ducab Connect Manager, who now
leads and drives its growth.
Ducab Connect has made rapid
strides of growth since its inception.
Contributing to the overall growth
philosophy of the company, Ducab
Connect is led by two strategic drivers
– regional coverage and product
diversity.
“Connect offers a comprehensive
range of cable glands and cable
support products such as cleats and
fixings targeting the industrial market
sector. We are now penetrating utilitybusiness opportunities with our LV
and MV joints and terminations,”
says Roy Heatherington, Ducab
Connect Manager.
Ducab Connect provides the means
of jointing all types of power cables
up to 36kV. This includes a variety
of polymeric insulation materials;
typically XLPE or EPR, transition
jointing systems which are also
available to permit the connection of
dissimilar cables commonly required
within the electrical industry.
Ducab Connect also features the
complete range of compressiontooling and associated connectors
ranging from 1.5 sq mm conductor
size through to 1000 sq mm. The
Ex range of hazardous area cable
glands are designed to the latest
international standards for increased
safety and flameproof applications. It
compliments Ducab’s cable offering
and has created an ideal platformto reach out to the oil, gas and
petrochemical sector.
Ducab Connect is led by one of the
most technically competent teams in
the region, which catalyses innovation
to meet the demanding requirements
of customers. Connect’s professional
technical support and design
service provides complete cable
system solutions and
avoids any risks
associated with
non-compatib i l i ty
of cable size and
design.
Ducab Connect adopts a ‘one-stop-
shop’ approach to service the market,an effort backed up by its extensive
range of products at the Jebel Ali
- Centre of Logistics Excellence
(C.O.L.E.) facility. The recently
revamped ‘Connect’ C.O.L.E., is
a state-of-the-art despatch hub,
ensuring timely delivery of product
to both major contractors and key
distribution partners.
Ducab realised that the primary
cause of failure of electrical cables
and faults in electrical distribution
networks is associated with joints
and terminations. To overcome this
and to offer support to its customers,
Ducab set up a modern Jointer
Academy in the year 2000. This
academy facilitates enhancement of
knowledge and upgradation of skills
in jointing and laying cables.
“At Ducab we celebrate spontaneity
and reward original thinking and thus,
we are now planning to introduce
a number of innovative products
later this year which includes a new
range of Ex cable glands, cable
management products, cable markingdevices, earthing and lightening
protection products, cable pulling
and stripping tools, that will further
enhance our product offering,” says
Heatherington.
Ducab Connect aims to
be the best and nothing
less, and uphold

T he true force behind Ducab’s achievements is its
“Spirited and passionate people”. And it is thisspirit and passion that is carried out of the work
place and on to other activities – be it sports, cultural orteamwork.
Cricket has always been a popular game among staff andthe organization has always been supportive to the game– even sponsoring the Ducab Cricket Cup annually. Thisyear saw a total of 12 teams participating in four poolsincluding two from Ducab – Ducab Jebel Ali and DucabMussafah.
Eight years since our cricket team played the finals of thecorporate tournament, 2009 saw some heavy-wattagecricketing action from Ducab Jebel Ali as the teamemerged runners-up against ETA Ascon.
The opening game was a cakewalk for Jebel Ali, winning
by 74 runs. Imran was the man of the matchscoring 73 runs off just 35 balls
and bagging two wickets to
boot. Though the team
lost its second match
against Dulsco, the
high average of 10.31
runs per over took it to
the top of the league.
Though Ducab
Mussafah could not
make it to the quarterfinals, the Jebel Ali team won
their match by an impressive 93
runs against Baker Hughes.Bharat was declared manof the match, scoring 82runs.
Semi-finals waspayback time as
Ducab Jebel Ali
clashed with KIT after
two years. KIT won the
toss and elected to bat
and were all out for 152.
Ducab’s batsmen stormed
the turf and won the match by
8 wickets with nine balls to spare.
Haji Mohammed, who scored 51 not out, was the man
of the match.
Although Ducab lost in the finals against ETA Ascon, the
team put up a brave fight. ETA’s Abdeen who scored
99 not out and hauled three of the Ducab wickets was
adjudged man of the match and man of the series. Bharat
from Ducab was selected as the best batsman of the
tournament and Vishal as the best bowler.
It was an exciting finish to a nail-biting cricket schedule,
and the runners-up trophy is an inspiration for the team
to vie for the top honours next year. Cricket is a true test
of survival of the fittest where all barriers of departments,
divisions and even organisations are forgotten, whatprevails is the spirit of sportsmanship.
“We have always been committed to
upholding the highest standards of safety
and quality across all aspects of our
operation,” said Mr. Andrew Shaw, Managing Director,
Ducab. “This has now been further acknowledged with
prestigious global certifications.”
In a strong endorsement of workplace safety and health,
Ducab has been awarded the RoSPA Occupational
Health & Safety Award for 2009. Announcing the award,
Mr. David Rawlins, RoSPA Awards Manager, said:
“Ducab has shown a commitment to protecting the
health and well-being of its employees and others.” The
RoSPA Awards ensure that winners have the best health
and safety management systems in place.
Ducab has also won “Safety at Work” award from
Dubai Municipality in 2008. Ducab’s Health and Safety
Management System is certified to British Standards
OHSAS 18001:2007.
Ducab’s adherence to the highest standards in safety of
its products was further endorsed in the results of the
BASEC UK (British Approvals Service for Cables) audit in
February.
BASEC auditor Mr. Richard Bryden completed QHSE
systems audit for all three sites and has recommended for
ISO 9001:2008 approval for Copper Rod factory and the
PVC Plant in addition to successful transition to the new
version of ISO 9001:2008 at all sites, which previouslyhave won the ISO 9001:2000 certification.
Ducab has won the Dubai Quality Award Gold Category for best UAE industry.

Caring for the environment is more than
a buzzword at Ducab – it is part of the
company’s corporate social responsibility,
and a work ethos for its employees.
Highlighting the commitment to make a meaningful
change, Ducab embarked on a green initiative to plant
more trees. Some 35 employees gathered at the Jebel
Ali facility on December 26, 2008, to plant trees around
the factory premises. This was part of the ‘Ducab
Friends of the Environment Day,’ an annual event at
the company.
The event was also a celebration of teamwork with
several employees joining hands to plant the trees,
water them and maintain the area clean.
Ducab is planning several such events in the future to
make a difference to the world.
Ducab has won the Royal Society for Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) Gold Award for the last 18 years.
The new version of ISO 9001 was published only in
November 2008 and Ducab accomplished the transitionto the new version in a very short span of time.
At an earlier audit by BASEC held in December,
Ducab also received ISO 9001:2000 approval for the
Mussafah 2, and BASEC product approval certificate for
BS 6004 cables, covering 1.5 sq mm to 240 sq mm.
Ducab-FR SC single core cables from 16 to 630 sq mm
received LPCB UK (Loss Prevention Certification Board)
approval recently. These cables are fire resistant cables
manufactured at Ducab - Mussafah1, Abu Dhabi. With
this approval Ducab has full range of LPCB approved Fire
Resistant cables, both single core and multi core cable
which are mandatory in markets like Hong Kong. Ducab
truly commits to maintain and adhere to global quality
standards.

Upholding Ducab’s commitment to the highest
standards of safety, the company has unveiledthe Employee’s Guide to Safety at Work. The
handbook highlights the various safety standards to be
adopted at the workplace.
George Frank, Health & Safety Controller, led a series of
safety workshops at Ducab’s factories in Jebel Ali and
Mussafah 1 and 2. The focus of the workshop was to
prevent hand and finger injuries, although Ducab already
has an outstanding safety record.
Several presentations and videos showcasing safety’s
best practices in the UK were displayed to
employees. The Safety Video featured various
aspects of injury prevention
and was appreciated by
the participants.
The workshops were
supported by safety posters
displayed at all sites and
also aimed at enhancing
shopfloor participation.
Since its launch in July 2005, the employee
suggestion scheme of the company has gained a
several hundred suggestions, wherein employees
are motivated to think innovatively and contribute toward
continuous improvement.
Through this programme, employees not only have
an impact on decision making but also aim to increase
productivity, profitability and growth of Ducab, which in
turn benefits all.
The Quality Department administers the scheme in
collaboration with individual departmental heads, who
review the suggestions and implement them when found
suitable.
From a ‘suggestion box in the corner’ to part of thecorporate ethos, Ducab Suggest now is supported by
an online system whereby electronically employees can
make their suggestions and receive prompt feedback
from the management.
To further encourage employees, Ducab Suggest put into
action a rewards system in additional to its points system.
The rewarding system presents a monetary incentive for
all valid suggestions even those that may be rejected at
a later stage. Ducab Suggest also acknowledges the
employee who leads the implementation process with the
title of “Ducab Suggest Partner”.
Suggestions are evaluated for originality, cost and
feasibility of implementation, cost savings and benefits,
ef ficiency and effectiveness, improvement in quality and
contribution towards health, safety and environmental
objectives.
Every year, Ducab Suggest implements carefully selected
ideas, In the first year, 251 suggestions were received and
50 have been implemented, while in 2007, 50% of 110
suggestions were taken through. Furthermore, in 2008
a total number of 208 suggestions were received out of
which 121 were accepted and implemented.
Start of 2009 witnessed an outbreak of suggestions of
special themes like Cost Saving in February and Customer
Service in March. This came well-tuned to the market
trends as cost saving and customer service are the key
issues.
Talk about the power of ideas, indeed!
Ducab has also achieved certification for the OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety Standard.
