en.Wedoany.com Reported - EMSTEEL Group, a listed steel and building materials manufacturer in the region, continues to play a supporting role in the advancement of strategic infrastructure projects in the UAE by supplying products to key national development projects.
During the delivery of the Etihad Rail passenger project, EMSTEEL undertook part of the material supply. The Group delivered locally produced rebar to multiple project stations and supplied more than 80,000 tonnes of cement for the production of concrete at passenger stations in the Al Dhafra Region and the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
Etihad Rail is regarded as a transformative strategic infrastructure project in the UAE, aimed at enhancing connectivity between the emirates. EMSTEEL's participation, through the simultaneous supply of steel and cement, has put to the test whether the national industrial sector can deliver high-quality, locally manufactured building materials in a manner that meets the highest engineering and technical standards.
Eng. Saeed Ghumran Al Remeithi, Chief Executive Officer of EMSTEEL Group, stated that the Etihad Rail project reflects the close collaboration between the UAE's industrial sector and national infrastructure projects, and further confirms that industry is a key driver of the nation's strategic development. He also noted that the Group remains committed to supplying locally manufactured products, aiming to enhance supply chain resilience, increase reliance on local products, and contribute to national economic growth. In his view, the project's reliance on the Group's products reflects market confidence in the UAE industrial sector's ability to meet the demands of strategic projects and deliver the highest standards of quality and operational excellence.
Eng. Mohammed Alshehhi, Chief Projects Officer at Etihad Rail, explained that the delivery of a project of this scale relies on a network of trusted partners. Throughout the project's execution, procurement was directed as much as possible toward local suppliers, enabling the project to adopt "Made in the UAE" products that meet the highest quality standards. EMSTEEL's supply played a vital role in ensuring project delivery, while also enhancing supply chain resilience, strengthening local industrial capabilities, and creating long-term value for the national economy. He further noted that this partnership demonstrates how strategic infrastructure projects can drive growth in the UAE's industrial sector and deliver lasting benefits for future generations.
The supply to the Etihad Rail passenger project continues EMSTEEL's established track record of participating in iconic development projects across the UAE. Through its locally manufactured products, the Group continues to strengthen the UAE's industrial capabilities and reinforce the industrial sector's critical role in the nation's sustainable development.
