1958

Our Start

In the early 1950’s, the late Ibrahim Sami Semaan came to Dubai on a work trip from Qatar. He used to work in an Electrical company and the project he was handling was to fix the lighting of the Villa for the Qatari Prince at the time. After completion of his first project in Dubai, he set up his own electric company at the time and proceeded to install all the electrical wiring for Deira Clock tower, and later on to install all the electrical wiring for Dubai Airports Runways. He saw an opportunity of introducing Elevators to the region and he took it. He created his brand of elevators naming it Ultra Lifts and installed the first elevator in the United Arab Emirates in 1958. It is currently located in a private villa on Jamal Abdul Nasser Street in Deira.

Strengthening Ties Across the Arab Region – Welcoming King Hussein of Jordan to the UAE

Building relationships and expanding into new territory went hand in hand. As the nation grew, so did our dreams. In 1967, the Late Ibrahim Sami Semaan welcomed the King Hussein Bin Talal of Jordan in Dubai with open arms and an open heart. His attitude and generosity made an impactful statement in the country and was later commended by the Dubai Municipality at the time for his kind gesture.

The Expansion

The company’s growth has been achieved through continuous reinvestment of profits together with design improvements and innovation of new devices and systems. The company then decided to turn to the foreign market through an aggressive export policy. By then, it’s lifts were already well known in several countries including Sudan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Yemen, Morocco and Lebanon. This year is when we flourished in the Iraqi Market and supplied Elevators and Escalators to Olympic Stadiums, Malls, Hotels, Residential Developments, and Commercial Towers. By this year, expansion factories were also established in Egypt, Libya, and Dubai.
