Sustainable Manufacturing
Championing manufacturing to support heavy industries
The UAE is establishing itself as a global hub for future industries by driving integration within the economy to support a thriving manufacturing sector.
In realizing this strategy, the UAE launched Operation 300Bn, a comprehensive plan for developing the UAE’s manufacturing sector and enhancing its role in stimulating the national economy. In June 2022, Abu Dhabi complemented national industrial objectives by launching the Abu Dhabi Industrial Strategy to increase access to investments and strengthen the Emirate’s position as the region’s most competitive industrial hub. The Emirate also introduced a circular economy regulatory framework, green policies and incentives to help continue Abu Dhabi’s transition towards a sustainable circular economy, powered by an industrial sector that promotes innovation, responsible production and consumption.
Spearheading performance across
Abu Dhabi's industrial sector
As a partner of the Government of Abu Dhabi, we are investing in a broad range of manufacturing and industrial assets that hold the key to growth for the sustainable development of the Emirate. Our Sustainable Manufacturing portfolio is playing a leading role in developing Abu Dhabi's manufacturing base and scaling assets sustainably to become integrated national and regional champions.

Forming the UAE’s largest listed steel and building materials company
As part of our strategy to create synergies within our portfolio, we consolidated Emirates Steel with Arkan, an ADX-listed construction and building materials company with a diverse range of products servicing the construction industry, to form the UAE’s largest listed steel and building materials company.
Providing world-class wire and cable solutions
Complementing our steel platform is Ducab, co-owned with the Investment Corporation of Dubai (ICD). Ducab is one of the UAE’s largest manufacturing businesses and a global leader in the development, design, manufacture, marketing and distribution of copper and premium aluminum wire and cable products. Today, Ducab works with customers around the world serving organisations in the fields of energy, construction, industrial manufacturing, transport and other specialty industry verticals
Pioneering the manufacturing of large-diameter welded steel pipes
Al Gharbia Pipe Company uses highly advanced production and testing technology from Europe and Japan including a state-of-the-art automated pipe manufacturing line to manufacture large diameter welded steel pipes for the oil, gas, power generation and construction industries. Established in 2015, the company is a joint venture between three partners: Senaat, part of ADQ; JFE Steel, the 8th largest steel manufacturer in the world; and Marubeni Itochu Steel, provider of commercial and logistical support to some of the world’s largest oil and gas companies.
Strengthening the UAE’s position as a globally competitive chemicals hub
To further develop industrial projects to accelerate economic diversification, we are building a chemicals platform. This journey began in 2020 when we established a joint venture with ADNOC to create TA’ZIZ and drive the next phase of technology-driven industrial growth within the planned Ruwais Derivatives Park in Abu Dhabi. Since then, TA’ZIZ has attracted local and foreign private investment for its chemicals’ projects.
Through its strategic partnerships, TA’ZIZ is well positioned to leverage unique market insights, capabilities, and technology to implement global best practice and ensure long-term operational sustainability.
Building
integrated industrial partnerships
Supporting the UAE’s national agenda is a priority for ADQ. It is reflected in our sovereign investment partnerships that aim to generate mutual benefits. Under a USD 10 billion bilateral investment partnership aiming to drive sustainable economic growth in Egypt and Jordan, we are focusing on building an industrial partnership initiative that will lead to greater integration between our industrial assets, both upstream and downstream.
By maximizing industrial and technological capabilities in each market, we will deploy investments in sectors that will support industrial development in Egypt, Jordan and the UAE. This initiative is built on identifying the competitive advantages of each country – for example, Egypt has a sizeable agriculture market that can provide ancillary opportunities in fertilizer production; Jordan has a burgeoning high-tech sector that can be leveraged for increased digitization; and the UAE is doubling down on clean energy.
