Samvardhana Motherson International Ltd (SAMIL), a manufacturer of automotive components, announced on Thursday, September 7, that Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, a member of the UAE Supreme Council, officially opened the company’s wiring harness plant in Ras Al Khaimah (RAK), one of the seven emirates that make up the UAE.

According to a stock exchange filing, the facility is situated in the Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ).

SAMIL’s plant, which specializes in producing wiring harnesses for commercial vehicles and other special-purpose vehicles, will also export these products to its customers in Europe.

The facility, which has a built-up area of 11,000 square metres and employs roughly 500 people, was constructed with an initial expenditure of about 10 million euros. Sheikh Saud was given a tour of the facility and given information on its innovative manufacturing techniques.

With these two additional locations in Dubai and Sharjah, Motherson now has eight in the area.

Ras Al Khaimah continues to be a strategic location for Motherson’s activities, according to Chairman Vivek Chaand Sehgal, and it helps the company be nearer to its European wiring harness clients.

According to Ramy Jallad, CEO of RAKEZ Group, ‘This state-of-the-art facility represents Motherson’s commitment to innovation and quality, showcasing Ras Al Khaimah and RAKEZ as key strategic hubs for their global operations.’
