It features an industrial training centre, designed for Adnoc engineers, local talents, and partners to enhance their technical skills and knowledge. Additionally, it boasts a pipe service yard dedicated to the storage, inspection, and preparation of pipe products; along with an advanced premium OCTG threading facility.
Tenaris Chairman and CEO Paolo Rocca, and Chief Operating Officer Gabriel Podskubka, were present at the launch of the site accompanied by Yaser Al Mazrouei, Adnoc Executive Director, and other officials.
Al Mazrouei said: “Adnoc is committed to strengthening the UAE’s industrial base and Tenaris’ new complex in Abu Dhabi underscores our ongoing efforts to attract leading global companies to locally manufacture critical industrial products.
“We congratulate Tenaris for opening this complex and look forward to continuing our partnership as we drive sustainable value for the UAE.”
