Danube, started its operations in 1993, in UAE, with building materials as a core business, and then subsequently ventured into retailing and other verticals. The brand launched its very first Danube Home outlet in Dubai in the year 2009. After testing the waters, the brand slowly and gradually spread its wings across all potential markets in the GCC region. By 2013, they were strategically positioned across major cities in the UAE, along with Bahrain and Oman. From mid-2013 to early 2014, the company consolidated its complete operations and buying plans, making it ready for large-scale operations and expansions, one of which included their strategic entry into Saudi Arabia. The brand now looks to open more stores in the Kingdom in the near future.
Commenting on the launch, Rizwan Sajan, Founder and Chairman of Danube Group, said “we are delighted to officially launch our first retail showroom in Saudi Arabia. This coincidentally also happens to be our largest showroom in the Kingdom, and reflects our continued growth and expansion of our business in the region. At Danube, it has always been our commitment to provide a range of innovative, value-added products and services for our customers to foster mutual success and growth. The sustainable development that Saudi Arabia is witnessing, has fuelled a surge in the city’s population, which in turn has triggered a burgeoning demand for real estate and in turn home furnishings. The prospects for this market in the future will, for innovators such as Danube, always remain bright.”— SG
