Dubai Emirates Glass, a leading processor of architectural flat glass in the Middle East, said it will invest in glass companies in Qatar, India and Iraq.

The company has opened a Dh160 million post-temperable coating line that aims to boost production capacity to over 3.5 million square metres, a statement said.
