LEGAL FORM & OWNERS

 

Date of Establishment  : 24th August 1992

 

Legal Form                  : Subject is the United Arab Emirates registered branch of Dow Europe GmbH, a Limited

  Liability Company incorporated in Germany.

 

  Dow Europe GmbH in the United Arab Emirates, operates as a Branch of a Foreign

  Registered Corporation with its registered office located at the following address:

  A Branch of a Foreign Registered Corporation is not a legal entity in its own

  right. Responsibility for payments lays in the hands of the company where it is

  originally registered.

 

  Under these circumstances, we strongly advise that any international trade

  credit should only be written under the name of the main company where the

  subject holds its registered office, in this case Germany.
