UAE based OSE Industries LLC, a highly specialized Aluminium Extrusion company catering to the needs of Automotive, HVAC, refrigeration and various engineering and industrial applications, will expand its current 10,000 tons a year capacity by an additional 5,000 tons by the end of the year. The company which has a total built up area of 10,000 square metre plant in Dubai Industrial Park (DIP) plans to expand its business in the automotive sector. Currently contributing to 65% of the company’s business, the company’s division catering to the global automotive sector received a boost recently, when OSE Industries LLC became the first Aluminium Extrusion company in the MENA region to obtain the prestigious IATF 16949:2016 certification. One of the automotive industry's most widely used international standards for quality management, IATF 16949:2016, is a ‘mandatory certification’ in the global automotive supply chain.

 

According to Magdy Samoul, CEO of OSE Industries LLC, “We are proud to be the first company in the region to have achieved the IATF 16949:2016 certification, which is an acknowledgement of our expertise in manufacturing aluminium multiport extruded (MPE) tubes and profiles for the automotive sector. Within a short timeframe of five years, we are now actively competing with top players in the sector globally.

 

Today, our MPE Tubes are used in the worldwide top Automotive Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) through the leading tier 1 automotive company. We are specialized in battery cooling tubes which is used for electric cars and currently supplying to a well-known electric car manufacturer.  Two years ago, we started supplying to the European market and since last year, we have started catering to the North American market.”

 

This UAE based company started its commercial operations in mid-2014, specialized in aluminum extrusion tubes that provide safer, higher heat transfer efficiencies, less maintenance and lower fuel consumption. These MPE tubes are mainly developed for constructing condenser coils used in air-conditioners and heat exchangers for both automotive and HVAC industries. MPE tubes are also widely used for intercooler, oil cooler and evaporator. They are supplied mainly in Aluminium Alloys 1xxx, 3xxx series.

 

Mr. Samoul further added “With the IATF 16949:2016 certification, we will now be in a stronger position to expand our business globally in the automotive sector, so we are looking to add one more production line to increase the capacity by an additional 5000 tons by the end of 2018”.
