Investalk 2016 SECOND QUARTER
Can you elaborate on some of the
key divestments made by Dubai
Investments Industries in the recent
years?
One of the key divestments was in June 2014,
when Dubai Investments Industries divested 66%
equity sale in its subsidiary Globalpharma to an
investor consortium led by Sanofi.
In Q1 2016, Dubai Investments also reached an
agreement with related authorities to relocate the
operations of DII subsidiary Marmum Dairy Farm
and its distribution arm United Sales Partners LLC
within an agreed timeframe and return the plot of
land. Accordingly, the authorities agreed to a
compensation comprising value of land, plant and
equipment and loss of profits.
What does the future have in store
for DII as a company?
Following on its illustrious past, Dubai Investments
Industries is geared up for the future, equipped
with the key success factors necessary to withstand
the winds of change amidst the evolving business
landscape and poised for a paradigm shift in its
growth journey across the Gulf and the Middle
East. The region has progressed enormously in the
last two decades, both in industry standards and
the level of services and Dubai Investments
Industries sees it as a long-term, sustainable and
growing market.
The Company will continue the strategy of
expansion in both the UAE and the regional
markets, enabling investment and sharing
knowledge, improving competitiveness while
unlocking new areas of growth. The strategy is to
leverage DII’s dynamic and diversified business
model and achieve the next level of growth in the
near future.
