Established in 2013, UISC operates a world-class downstream facility strategically located in the Industrial City ICAD-3, Musaffah. The company is a joint venture promoted by the AJ Group of Dubai and Saudi Arabia’s Safid Group, both with extensive experience in the building materials industry. UISC is renowned for producing high-quality Galvanized and Pre-Painted Steel Coils (PPGI), catering to the demands of the UAE, GCC, and international markets including Europe and the USA.

UISC’s state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities include a Push Pull Pickling Line, a 4HI Reversible Cold Rolling Mill, a Hot Dip Galvanizing Line, and a Pre-painting Line, with equipment supplied by global leaders like Danieli, Siemens, ABB, and EMG. This advanced technology enables UISC to produce a full spectrum of coated products ranging in thickness and width, from commercial quality to value-added drawing grades. With significant capacities—400,000 MT/year for the Pickling Line, 300,000 MT/year for the Cold Rolling Mill, 250,000 MT/year for the Galvanizing Line, and 150,000 MT/year for the Pre-painting Line—UISC is a key player in reducing the region’s reliance on imported steel coils.

Main Findings: GWP-GHG

The Declared Unit (DU) of this LCA is 1 metric ton and the findings below are expressed as kgCO₂e/DU.

Impact Category Unit A1-A3 A4 A5 B1-B7 C1 C2 C3 C4 D
GWP-GHG kgCO₂e 2.02E+03 5.92E+01 ND ND 4.57E-01 2.92E+00 1.24E+03 3.49E-01 -1.58E+03

This indicator includes all greenhouse gases, excluding biogenic carbon dioxide uptake and emissions, as well as biogenic carbon stored in the product, as defined by IPCC AR6 (2021). The indicator aligns closely with the Global Warming Potential (GWP) outlined in EN 15804:2012+A2:2019, incorporating updated characterization factors and environmental impact indicators. Reading example: 1.57E-03 = 1.57*10⁻³ = 0.00157.
