Metal Park and Galva Hub Partner to Build the World’s Largest Galvanising Pool

Metal Park and Galva Hub have partnered to develop the world’s largest galvanising pool — a 131 m³ zinc pool housed within 6,000 sqm of dedicated galvanising space in KEZAD. Scheduled for completion in Q3 2024, the project will set new operational and sustainability standards for the metal processing sector, supporting industries from construction to large-scale infrastructure.

Dedicated galvanising complex set to redefine metal processing standards

Abu Dhabi, UAE – 1 December 2023:
Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (KEZAD Group), the UAE’s largest operator of integrated and purpose-built economic zones, has announced a new partnership between Metal Park and Galva Hub that will significantly expand the country’s metal processing capabilities.

The collaboration centres on the development of the world’s largest galvanising pool — a 131-cubic-metre zinc pool housed within more than 6,000 square metres of dedicated galvanising space. The project is designed to set new benchmarks in efficiency, scale, and sustainability for the regional metal processing industry.

Metal Park, a 450,000-square-metre integrated hub within KEZAD, enables metal companies to scale operations without traditional infrastructure constraints. Galva Hub, a hot-dip galvanising specialist and processing partner within Metal Park, will lead the operational development of the galvanising facility.

Scheduled for completion in Q3 2024, the partnership combines Metal Park’s industrial ecosystem with Galva Hub’s technical expertise. The project is designed to integrate advanced technologies and sustainable practices, supporting industries such as construction, utilities, and large-scale infrastructure development.

Mohamed Al Khadar Al Ahmed, CEO of KEZAD Group, said:
“The collaboration between Metal Park and Galva Hub, and the establishment of the UAE’s largest galvanising pool, reflects KEZAD Group’s commitment to advanced technologies and sustainable industrial practices. We look forward to this venture elevating the capabilities and efficiency of the metal processing sector.”

Vahid Fouladkar, CEO of Metal Park, said:
“Our partnership with Galva Hub marks a transformative milestone for Metal Park and the wider metal processing industry. Beyond creating the region’s largest galvanising pool, we are setting a new standard for innovation, sustainability and operational excellence. This is only the beginning, and we welcome more industry leaders to join this journey towards a more efficient and future-ready metal ecosystem.”

Shadi Nemeh, CEO of Galva Hub, added:
“We aim to become the central hub for galvanisation excellence. With the largest galvanising pool in the UAE, we foresee a shift towards innovation and sustainability working in harmony to advance the industry.”

The project aligns with the shared vision of Metal Park and Galva Hub to meet growing market demand while minimising environmental impact. Once operational, the galvanising pool will play an essential role in supporting diverse industrial requirements across the UAE and wider region.
