The history and development of the Dutco Group of Companies is inextricably interwoven with that of Dubai itself. The establishment of Dutco dates back to 1947, when Dubai Transport Company was established. From these beginnings, the company has grown steadily and today there is virtually no aspect of Dubai's infrastructure development in which the Dutco Group does not play a part, with successes extending well beyond Dubai and the UAE. Activities include large-scale civil engineering works, mechanical and electrical engineering, Piling & soil improvement, civil engineering, dredging, survey and reclamation, pipeline engineering, information technology and telecommunications, shipping and freight services, trading and luxury hotel operations.
