ADNOC Signs AED6 Billion Deals to Manufacture Industrial Equipment in UAE
Strengthening Local Manufacturing
ADNOC signed framework agreements worth AED6 billion ($1.64 billion) with 12 UAE-based companies. These agreements focus on manufacturing pressure vessels and cables within the United Arab Emirates. This move supports the national ‘Make it in the Emirates’ industrial development initiative.
Boosting UAE Jobs and Industrial Growth
The deals could create up to 1,300 skilled private-sector jobs across the UAE. ADNOC aims to reduce delivery times and avoid global supply chain disruptions. These agreements strengthen the industrial base and boost manufacturing capacity across the country.
Supporting In-Country Value Program
The deals deepen the impact of ADNOC’s In-Country Value (ICV) programme. The ICV programme enhances business continuity and drives long-term sustainable value in the UAE. ADNOC provides visibility into upcoming local procurement needs using the “Make it with ADNOC” app.
Manufacturing Zones Across the UAE
The signed companies operate in key industrial zones, including ICAD and KEZAD in Abu Dhabi. Other zones include Dubai Industrial Park, JAFZA, and areas in Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain. This supports balanced industrial growth and shared localisation benefits across all Emirates.
List of Local Manufacturers
Nine companies will manufacture 10 types of pressure vessels for ADNOC operations. These include ADOS Engineering, Berg Industries, METALFAB Middle East, and others. Three companies—Ducab, Mark Cables, and National Cable Industry—will supply four types of cables.
Driving Future Local Procurement
ADNOC plans to procure AED90 billion ($24.5 billion) worth of local products by 2030. Since 2018, ADNOC’s ICV programme has returned AED242 billion ($65.9 billion) into the UAE economy. It also enabled over 17,000 Emiratis to secure jobs in the private sector.
Expanding National Industrial Resilience
ADNOC aims to inject AED200 billion ($54.5 billion) into the UAE economy in five years. These agreements strengthen ADNOC’s supply chain and drive private-sector growth in critical sectors.
