CUSTOMER SERVICE
Ducab is the premier cable manufacturer in the United Arab Emirates and, since 1979, has been meeting the
requirements of customers throughout the GCC, Middle East and Asian markets. Ducab cables are preferred for the
following reasons:
PRODUCT QUALITY
Ducab is committed to supplying its customers with the highest quality of product and of service. Ducabs cables have
been type approved by recognized certifying bodies such as BASEC UK (British Approval Service for Cables), Lloyds
Register of the UK, KEMA Netherland, LPCB UK ( Loss Prevention Certification Board), ESMA
(Emirates Authority for standardization and Metrology). They fully conform to BS, IEC other
international and national specifications.
In addition, Ducab was presented with the Dubai Quality Award 1994, for the best local industrial
company of the year. Ducab won Dubai Quality Gold Category award twice, in 1998 and in 2004.
The Gold Award rewards the most distinguished companies which are judged to be world class
and Ducab is the only manufacturing company in the region to win such acclaim.
Ducab has won the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum (MRM) Business Excellence Award in manufacturing
category in 2009. Recognizing quality products and services, Ducab has also won the Superbrand award for 4 years
consecutively from 2009.
RELIABILITY
Specifying the right cable for a particular application is the first step. The key to reliability however, is in the manufacturing
process. The cable must be free from material and manufacturing defects, and weaknesses that will be revealed in
service.
Ducab constantly monitors its manufacturing processes and operates stringent quality assurance procedures to give
long term reliability. This is of vital significance where cables are to be installed in locations where future access would
be difficult and this is where Ducabs reputation and resources give peace of mind.
PERFORMANCE
Optimum cable performance can be provided only by a company such as Ducab, with access to the latest developments
in materials technology. In addition, Ducabs knowledge of application requirements throughout the Middle and Far East
is an assurance of high performance.
Our experienced Technical Staff can provide guidance on cable selection and installation and can ensure that you get
the right cable for the job.
Ducab uses only tried and tested materials and processes in full compliance with all
relevant British and International Standards. Our cables are therefore manufactured
for safe use without risk to health on the understanding that users will exercise the same degree
of care in their selection and application.
Safety is an important issue for Ducab, and the strictest standards are adhered to throughout the company. Ducab is
proud of its safety record and has been awarded RoSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) Gold Awards
for safety from 1991 to 1999. From 2000 onward, Ducab was awarded the prestigious Presidents Award for Health and

Award from RoSPA.

Service for Cables). Certification to OHSAS 18001 provides a recognisable Occupational Health and Safety Management
standard against which an organisations management systems can be assessed and certified. Based on the structure

written procedures to ensure full compliance with all requirements of the standard and that
these procedures are followed by every department in the company, thus ensuring that goods leaving Ducabs factory

Ducab is particularly proud to have achieved certification to the stringent ISO 9001 standard as it is an independent
conformation that the company designs, manufactures and tests cables consistently to accepted standards. ISO 9001
