DORMA in the Burj Dubai: Major order jointly won with Häfele

Total volume to date: US$ 6.5 million

Ennepetal, Germany. DORMA, international supplier of products and systems circling the door, has together with its distributor Häfele received an order covering the supply of products for what is destined to be the world’s tallest building, the Burj Dubai. The total contract value amounts to US$ 6.5 million. (approx. € 5 million) and the various sales agreements between DORMA and the client Emaar Properties PJSC, Dubai, provide for the supply of a range of items including door closers, panic exit devices and lever handles for the skyscraper now under construction. Also selected was a special bespoke door lever handle, to be supplied by DORMA subsidiary OGRO of Velbert/Germany, which was originally designed and applied for the local Armani Hotel. “At over 700 meters, Burj Dubai will not only be the tallest building in the world but also one of the biggest projects in DORMA’s history,” commented a delighted DORMA CEO,
Dr. Michael Schädlich.

So far the building has reached ‘a mere’ 330 meters, corresponding to its 95th floor. “As negotiations are ongoing with respect to other areas of the building, we hope that DORMA will be able to win a number of further contracts,” said an optimistic Dr. Schädlich. DORMA was able to beat off some very strong competition to obtain this first batch of orders for the prestigious project, an achievement that further underlines its credentials as a single-source supplier of products, systems and services. DORMA also offers the significant benefits of an international network of subsidiaries offering essential expertise at the local level.
