Dubai, UAE  4 September 2026

Malabar Gold & Diamonds welcomed His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, Chairman of Emirates Gold, to the Malabar International Hub (MIH) in Gold Souq, Dubai on Friday, 4 September.

The visit marked the decade-long relationship between Malabar Gold & Diamonds and Emirates Gold, one of the UAE's most established precious metals refineries and an accredited UAE Good Delivery refiner. Over the years, the collaboration has grown into one of the region's most significant industry partnerships, built on shared standards of quality, integrity and operational excellence.

Malabar Gold & Diamonds is the largest purchaser of Emirates Gold's minted bars, having procured over 650,000 bars to date. The volume reflects both the depth of the commercial relationship and Malabar's commitment to sourcing responsibly produced and accredited metal, consistent with the group's ethos of ethical and responsible sourcing across its global supply chain.

Beyond minted bars, the partnership spans refining and the recycling of old jewellery, production of tailor-made precious metal products, and precious metals trading. Together these activities support the UAE's precious metals ecosystem and reinforce Dubai's position as a global centre for jewellery manufacturing and bullion trade.

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, Chairman of Emirates Gold said; 

"The UAE’s standing as a global centre for bullion and jewellery rests on the strength of the businesses operating within it. The relationship between Emirates Gold and Malabar Gold & Diamonds reflects that strength, and our shared commitment to the standards the UAE has set for the sector."

During the visit, His Highness was briefed on Malabar's global operations, its vertically integrated manufacturing capability, its growth across international markets, and its approach to responsible and sustainable practice.

With more than 450 showrooms worldwide, Malabar continues to operate the UAE as the centre of its global sourcing, logistics and expansion activity.

Mr. Shamlal Ahamed, Managing Director of International Operations at Malabar Gold & Diamonds said:
Our decade-long partnership with Emirates Gold has played a key role in supporting Malabar's growth by ensuring efficient access to responsibly sourced precious metals while maintaining the highest standards of quality. As the centre of our international operations, the UAE continues to play a pivotal role in our global growth strategy, providing the connectivity, ecosystem and opportunities that support our expansion worldwide."

As Malabar accelerates growth across new and existing markets, the company remains committed to strengthening its partnership with Emirates Gold and to the UAE's leadership in responsible, innovative and future ready jewellery manufacturing.
