Hira Industries, a supplier of products to the construction sector, is deploying technology solutions from SAP to help drive the UAE’s booming manufacturing industry.
Dubai’s manufacturing sector accelerated 8.1 percent in 2013, outpacing a 4.6 percent expansion in the overall economy, according to data from the Dubai Statistics Center. Dubai currently accounts for around 20 percent of the UAE’s gross domestic product, according to the World Bank. The UAE’s industrial sector expected to make up 25 percent of the country’s gross domestic product by 2025, according to the UAE Ministry of Economy.
Hira Industries will implement a range of solutions running on the SAP HANA platform, including enterprise resource planning and manufacturing software solutions, as it looks to continue its expansion across the region.

Hira has a manufacturing base of 1.2 million square feet in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE and Pune, India. The company now employs more than 700 people across offices in the GCC, India, Australia, Sri Lanka, and Nigeria.
“By deploying best-in-class technology from SAP we will be able to optimize performance and deliver greater customer satisfaction. Using SAP solutions will also allow us to attract and retain the most talented employees,” said Prakash Sarvaiya, General Manager, Hira Industries. “HANA’s real-time capabilities will allow us to deliver responsive manufacturing processes, execution and management capabilities.”
