JK Cement UAE has officially launched its JK Profix Construction Chemicals Division, marking a significant step in the company's expansion strategy across the UAE and the wider Gulf region. The launch was celebrated at a special event held at the Kempinski Central Avenue Hotel in Dubai, alongside the commencement of full-scale production at its new manufacturing facility, JK DryChem Industries, located in the Al Ghail Industrial Zone of Ras Al Khaimah. The event brought together key stakeholders from the construction industry, including JK Cement UAE CEO Amit Kothari, senior executives, industry partners, and clients. The occasion was attended by Dr. Raghavpat Singhania, Managing Director of JK Cement, who served as the chief guest, along with Dr. Ibrahim Saad, Director of the Fujairah Statistics Centre. Although JK Profix was established in late 2024, the latest development represents a major milestone in strengthening JK Cement's local manufacturing capabilities. The new facility enables the company to produce construction chemicals and dry-mix solutions within the UAE, helping it respond more efficiently to the region's growing construction demands. During the event, Amit Kothari highlighted the strategic importance of the new facility and its role in enhancing JK Cement's ability to serve customers across the region. Dr. Singhania emphasized that the start of in-house production would strengthen the company's capability to deliver world-class construction solutions to the UAE market. A major highlight of the evening was a presentation by JK Cement's technical team, showcasing the company's latest innovations in construction chemicals and dry-mix products. The company also introduced JKMaxx Paints, its newly launched textured coatings division in the UAE, featuring sustainable paint solutions designed for modern architectural applications. The launch follows the recent inauguration of JK DryChem Industries in Ras Al Khaimah. The 5,000-square-meter facility manufactures advanced construction chemicals, waterproofing products, cement additives, tile adhesives, plasters, dry-mix mortars, coatings, and liquid admixtures. The plant is expected to initially serve the UAE and GCC markets before expanding exports to Africa and other international regions. The event concluded with a Client Appreciation Awards ceremony, where JK Cement honored long-standing partners for their contributions to the company's growth and success in the region. The launch of JK Profix and the operationalization of JK DryChem Industries strengthen JK Cement's presence in the Middle East construction materials sector. By expanding local manufacturing and introducing new product lines, the company aims to meet rising demand for advanced construction chemicals and sustainable building solutions across the UAE and GCC markets.
