Motherson Sumi Systems (MSSL) subsidiary Motherson PKC Harness Systems is building a new factory in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

It has acquired 21,000 square metres of land at the Rakez Al Hamra Industrial Zone for the plant.

Products will include wiring harnesses, rear view mirrors and injection moulding.

A ground breaking ceremony was held recently to mark the beginning of factory construction and operations are expected to commence in the second quarter of 2020.

Vivek Chaand Sehgal, chairman of MSSL, said: “We are very glad to have taken this important step of setting up our manufacturing facility in the fast-growing emirate of Ras Al Khaimah. This provides us great opportunities for larger exposure to the global markets.”

Rakez is a business and industrial hub established by the government which currently hosts 14,500 companies from 100 countries operating in 50 industries.
