Scientific and Rational Project Planning, Prominent Industrial Chain Advantages

According to the agreement, Jianhua Holdings Group will build the first pipe pile manufacturing factory in the UAE, as well as in the Middle East and Gulf regions, in the Free Trade Zone of Ras Al Khaimah Port City. The total investment of the first phase of the project is approximately 100 million UAE Dirhams (equivalent to about 190 million RMB), covering an area of about 50,000 square meters. It is expected to create more than 200 local jobs and officially start production in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Jianhua Holdings will join hands with PHC Technologies to introduce advanced Chinese pipe pile manufacturing technology and international management standards. After the start of production, the products will be mainly sold to the markets of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and neighboring countries, with application scenarios widely covering infrastructure fields such as industry, ports, bridges, and high-rise buildings.

The project will fully rely on the location advantages of Ras Al Khaimah's deep-water port and the local mature raw material supply system to build an efficient industrial chain integrating raw material procurement, production and manufacturing, and export transportation. After the completion of the project, it will significantly enhance the local supply capacity of high-quality building foundation materials in the UAE, the Middle East and the Gulf regions, and promote the upgrading of local manufacturing industry and the diversified development of industries.
