HISTORY The Dulsco eighty- year old story has many chapters and its origins go back to 1935. Dulsco was set up in 1935 as a stevedoring company. During its initial years of operation, the company used to provide stevedoring services to ships at the anchorage and barges. The stevedoring service Dulsco launched then is still one of many services it continues to provide to this day. In fact, Dulsco is the oldest stevedoring company in the region. In the 1950s, Shaikh Saeed Al Maktoum gave Dulsco exclusive rights to provide stevedoring services at the Dubai Port. The company expanded into manpower supply after the formation of the UAE. By the 1970s, and with the opening of Port Rashid in Dubai, Dulsco grew into a full-fledged stevedoring company that ably served the port and other companies. The company started providing various categories of manpower services through the eighties. Soon, Dulsco had matured into one of the UAE’s most significant providers of human resource solutions. In the nineties, Dulsco started waste management services, thus expanding its services portfolio. In 2005, Dulsco became a limited liability company and expanded its geographic presence to include all the Emirates and neighbouring Gulf countries, launching operations in Qatar by 2007 as a JV between Dulsco LLC and Mars Trading & Contracting. PRODUCT Today Dulsco is the pre-eminent provider of Human Resource and Waste Management Solutions in the region. Dulsco has developed a reputation of being both a capable and an ethical player in the marketplace. Dulsco HR Solutions offers end-to-end HR solutions to meet the needs of clients in all industry segments, whether they are multinational or local companies. Dulsco HR Solutions provides various Human Resources related services including Manpower Services, HR Outsourcing, Contract Staffing and Recruitment Services. Dulsco’s pool of workforce includes an array of categories like general helpers, semi-skilled workers, drivers, welders, receptionists, data entry operators, safety officers, cashiers, merchandisers among others.

The specialised services include Waste Management Services, Recycling Services, Waste Handling Products, Onshore and Offshore Tank Cleaning Services, Facilities Management Support Services, Community Cleaning and Allied Services like Fabrication and Auto Repair Services. Many leading organisations across government, hospitality, community living, malls, retail, education and other sectors have chosen Dulsco to help them in their sustainability journey. Apart from the above core businesses, Dulsco also provides other services: l Dulsco Medical Services provides compre- hensive medical care to Dulsco employees and employees of other private companies. The clinics are located at Al Quoz and Dubai Industrial City. l Many Government organisations, companies and individuals enjoy using Dulsco’s Events Arena indoor and outdoor sports and entertainment facility for a variety of events. l Dulsco offers a wide range of shipping agency and supply boat services at the Port of Fujairah and Khorfakkan Port through its fleet that includes Dulsco I and Dulsco II. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS Dulsco has adapted with changing times and now looks upon the next decade with great enthusiasm. On the one hand, the expanding footprint of the retail, manufacturing, events, and aviation industries will continue to drive demand for Dulsco’s services.
