Dorma, an international supplier of door and home automation products and systems has, together with its distributor Häfele, received an order to supply a range of products for the Burj Dubai.

The $6.5 million contract and the various sales agreements between Dorma and the client Emaar Properties, Dubai, will involve the supply of a range of items including door closers, panic exit devices and lever handles for the skyscraper now under construction.
Also selected was a special bespoke door lever handle, to be supplied by Dorma subsidiary Ogro of Velbert/ Germany, which was originally designed and applied for the local Armani Hotel.
“At over 700 m, Burj Dubai will not only be the tallest building in the world but also one of the biggest projects in Dorma’s history,” said a delighted Dr Michael Schädlich, CEO of Dorma.
“As negotiations are ongoing with respect to other areas of the building, we hope that Dorma will be able to win a number of further contracts,” said Dr Schädlich.
Dorma was able to beat off strong competition to obtain this first batch of orders for the prestigious project, an achievement that further underlines its credentials as a single-source supplier of products, systems and services. Dorma, the market leader in door control products, glass fittings systems as well as automatic doors, also offers the significant benefits of an international network of subsidiaries offering essential expertise at the local level.
