The extension is designed to strengthen the company’s bulk order fulfilment, warehousing, kitting and supply chain operations for electrical products including cables, lighting, industrial wires and electrical distribution systems. The project comes as Dubai’s industrial and logistics zones continue to attract investment linked to infrastructure growth, energy transition projects and the expansion of digital facilities.
The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by Dr Mohamad Meeran Saheb, founder and chairman of Electric Way; Atheeqe Ansari, chief executive officer; Dr Uzair Ansari, director; and Akbar Mohideen Thumbay, vice-president of Thumbay Group. Senior management members, stakeholders and guests also took part in the launch.
Ansari said the additional 125,000 sq ft was not merely a physical expansion but an investment in the company’s ability to serve customers at scale. He said the enlarged facility would help Electric Way remain more agile and responsive as it uses technology to raise distribution standards across the region.
The expansion builds on Electric Way’s existing 100,000 sq ft warehouse at National Industries Park, near Jebel Ali, which supports stocking, kitting and supply of cables, lighting and electrical accessories. The company has described its facility as technology-enabled, with systems for tracking, storage, packing and transportation. Its delivery model is built around controlled material movement, self-operated transport and project-based scheduling aimed at reducing delays at customer sites.
Construction work is being carried out by Ashiyana Contracting, with engineering oversight by Model Engineering Consultants. The project is expected to follow international standards for structural integrity and sustainable building practices, reflecting the growing emphasis on resilient logistics infrastructure in Dubai’s industrial property market.
Electric Way, founded in 2003 and headquartered in Dubai, supplies commercial cables, industrial wires, lighting fixtures and electrical distribution products. Its customer base spans construction, power generation, oil and gas, utilities and large industrial projects. The company represents and stocks products from several major international and regional manufacturers, positioning itself as a value-added distributor rather than a conventional trader.
The choice of National Industries Park underlines Dubai’s role as a regional supply chain hub. The park spans 21 sq km and hosts more than 400 businesses, with a focus on manufacturing, distribution, logistics and supply chain activity. Its location offers access to Jebel Ali Port, Al Maktoum International Airport and national highway networks, giving distributors a base for faster movement of goods within the UAE and across Gulf markets.
The timing of the expansion also reflects wider shifts in demand for electrical infrastructure. Contractors and developers are placing greater emphasis on reliable supplies of power cables, lighting, earthing materials and distribution components as the region accelerates work on logistics parks, commercial buildings, transport networks, energy projects and data centres. Artificial intelligence and cloud computing are also increasing the need for high-specification electrical systems, making stock availability and technical fulfilment more important for suppliers.
