Peiko Gulf to Set Up New Factory in RAK

Al Rashed Peikko LLC’s sales and production unit in the United Arab Emirates, Peikko Gulf LLC, has started building a new factory and warehouse premises on an industrial plot located in Ras Al Khaimah, the UAE.

The land leasing agreement for the new plot of 11,500 sq mtrs was signed in October 2017. The growth of Peikko’s operations in the Middle East has been remarkable in the past years and the demand is constantly increasing.

Peikko’s current factory and warehouse premises in Ras al Khaimah are located near the new plot.

The new factory consists of over 3,000 sq mtrs of production and warehousing space and includes also modern office facilities.

The factory will use the latest technology and automation in order to enhance connection item and DELTABEAM® Slim Floor Structure production capacity, and strengthen manufacturing with an optimal layout for increased operations and possibility for future expansion.
