We aim to provide services to the Oil & Gas, Locomotives, Automotive, Defence and Engineering Sectors in the UAE. We look forward to contributing to the engineering & manufacturing eco-system of the UAE in general and Abu Dhabi in particular.
We already have our plant and equipment installed for a unique material treatment process that enhances the lifecycle of metal wear parts like cutting tools, brake discs, gears etc. thereby providing economic benefits to our customers.
The industry enabling regulations and the business-friendly environment provided by the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (ADDED) coupled with world class facilities provided by KEZAD make it a very attractive option to set up our facilities here in KEZAD.”
While oil and natural gas contributes significantly in meeting the world’s energy demands, locomotives are the steering gear behind the transportation sector’s efforts to tackle climate change with higher efficiency and reduced carbon footprint. The new establishment at KEZAD will meet the demands of these industries and enable them with more productivity and performance.
