Carborundum Universal sets up unit in UAE

Our Bureau

Chennai , Dec. 12

CARBORUNDUM Universal Ltd has informed the stock exchanges that it has set up a 100 per cent subsidiary in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, "for marketing its products — abrasives, ceramics, refractories and electrominerals in the West Asia."

The subsidiary has been established in Ras Al Khaimah Free Trade Zone, Ras Al Khaimah, U.A.E. Mr H.H. Shiekh Faisal Bin Saqr Al Qassimi, Chairman of RAK Free Trade Zone, handed over the license to Mr M.M. Murugappan, Chairman of the company. Ras Al Khaimah Free Trade Zone has been chosen by the company to start its West Asia operations due to its strategic location. Once the marketing operations stabilise, the company may consider setting up manufacturing operations based on feasibility.

"At present, it is only a marketing office," Mr Murugappan told Business Line, speaking from Dubai. He said the office would be staffed with three people to begin with. He added that the company would study the feasibility of setting up a manufacturing facility there. Any investment decision would take about a year, he said.
