Gulf Extrusions of the UAE says it has produced the biggest aluminium extruded profile in Asia and Africa, fulfilling its part in a partnership with architectural aluminium specialist Multiforms to supply world-class aluminium profiles for the iconic mixed-use building project Index Tower in Dubai.

Production of the specially designed profile – which is made of two pieces and weighs 30kg/m with a width of 1,000 mm – has recently commenced as the skyscraper in Dubai’s financial district is projected to be completed by the end of this year.
The Index Tower, which is located at Dubai International Finance Centre (DIFC), will feature residential floors with the highest views in the world.
“This is another important milestone for Gulf Extrusions and validates the company’s status as the preferred supplier of world-class extruded aluminium profiles in the regional market,” says Modar Al Mekdad, General Manager, Gulf Extrusions.
The Index Tower will feature office, apartment and lower-level retail and commercial spaces constructed on a 20,000 sq m corner site in DIFC. The tower is also located in proximity to the Burj Dubai, another landmark tower that has utilised Gulf Extrusions’ products and services.
