Since its inception in 2000, Arabian Can Industry (ACI) paved the way for a new export-oriented approach in the local can industry. With a clear vision to provide the GCC, Middle East and Subcontinent markets with high-quality OTS cans and products, ACI operates with a dedicated Research and Development team that compliments its Production team. The company, which is part of the Al Ghurair Group, specialises in 3-piece metal can manufacturing suitable for packing all types of foodstuff, and complements the group’s packaging trio, which includes Taghleef Industries (Film Packaging) and Arabian Packaging (Paper Packaging). The product line ranges in size from 79 grams to 5 kilograms. ACI also supplies printed tin sheets with their components. Further expansion projects are also underway to add new sizes of cans to the company’s product portfolio. Situated in the industrial area of Jebel Ali, Dubai, Arabian Can Industry is well-known for its established records of quality, reliability and stability. The company has an integrated and versatile can plant with full in-house facilities for tinplate printing, coating and fabrication of built-up cans and component making. By using modern machineries in Printing and Design Technology, manned by highly trained and qualified employees, the factory has got the capacity and facilities to produce any item related to food or general cans, ends and components as well as printed sheets. Process wise, the company applies the latest in production operations and quality control. Since the products are mainly used for food packaging, it is an integral part of ACI’s policy to conduct research and work in close collaboration with clients, to develop products that are of the highest quality possible. The production process itself, applies highspeed technologies and high-quality printing techniques to embed quality in the entire product lifecycle. In addition, the production chain is monitored and checked by the welltrained Quality Control team, which conducts tests through all the production phases from raw material selection till final output and delivery. To complement their overall quality offering, ACI is committed to environmental purity throughout the production process. Therefore, the company applies its own air toxic emission control programme, which includes annual analyses of chemicals through reputed Laboratories to make sure that all discharges to the air environment are in accordance with the requirements of the EPSS Technical guidelines of the Dubai Municipality. Similar procedures are applied to general waste, liquid and solid hazardous waste and ventilation. With such a high-quality lifecycle of ACI products, the company has formed a clear pathway to international markets
