While JK Profix was first established in late 2024, this milestone event marked a major leap forward in the company's local manufacturing capabilities in Ras Al Khaimah, bringing together senior executives, industry partners, and key clients to witness JK Cement's expanding footprint in the region.
The evening began with an executive networking session, followed by a speech from Kothari, CEO of JK Cement UAE, who delivered the opening address to commemorate the occasion alongside the company's UAE partners. Kothari also highlighted the strategic significance of the new facility and noted its role in strengthening the company's responsiveness to the region's fast-evolving construction demands.
Dr Singhania then addressed the visitors and emphasised the strategic importance of this new facility, stating: "By initiating full in-house production at JK DryChem Industries LLC, we are further strengthening our ability to provide world-class construction solutions to the UAE market."
A key highlight of the evening was a presentation by the company's technical team, who unveiled the latest innovations in Construction Chemicals and Drymix products. The team also officially introduced JK Cement's newly launched Textured Coatings division in the UAE, "JKMaxx Paints," showcasing advanced, sustainable paint solutions designed for modern architecture.
Following an interactive technical Q&A session and firsthand success stories shared by prominent clients, JK Cement hosted a Client Appreciation Awards ceremony. Dr Singhania; Kothari; Ajay Mathur, Head-International Operations; and Manoj Kaipura, Head-Dry Mix & CC Sales took the stage to present trophies to long-standing partners in recognition of their vital contribution to the company's regional success.
