While the oil and gas sector continues to be the greatest contributor to the UAE economy, the UAE government has recognized the urgent need to diversify its economy in order to better satisfy the local market demand. To accomplish this goal, the UAE government has made it a priority to encourage investment in the UAE's industrial sector, capably increasing investment from 4.3 billion Dirhams in 2003 to nearly 6.3 billion Dirhams in 2004. By capitalizing on its strategic location and facilities, the UAE is well on its way to becoming a manufacturing hub for the entire MENA region and beyond.

Abu Dhabi Holding is committed to being a major player in reaching this objective by establishing and developing major industrial projects, principally within the UAE and with particular emphasis on the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, that fulfil local and regional manufacturing requirements. ADH is investing in ambitious projects, covering many industries, including petrochemical, avionics, pharmaceutical, healthcare , and construction-related industries, which we believe have high growth potential, so as to ensure unsurpassed return on investment for our shareholders and actively contribute to the targeted industrial development of U.A.E.
