MANAGEMENT

When Two Nations got together with an ambitious goal, our Three Shareholders, ADQ, an Abu Dhabi Government owned holding company; JFE Steel, one of Japan’s largest integrated steel mill with more than half-century of pipe manufacturing expertise; Marubeni-Itochu Steel, Japan-baesd global steel trader, stepped forward to make history and Al Gharbia Pipe Company LLC was born.

With these three shareholders’ core strengths fully implemented, together with my talented team, we, Al Gharbia Pipe Company, manufacture and supply LSAW steel pipes for reputable energy & construction projects in the region and globally.

Our products support to build industry eco-systems related to Oil & Gas, Renewable Energy (Windfarms, CCU/CCUS and Hydrogen Plants) and various Civil Engineering Projects in line with our purpose, to make safe and sustainable industrial infrastructure for a better planet.

I am excited to be a part of this history in the making!

When I came to Abu Dhabi for the first time in 2015, the planned construction site looked like wide desert. But now we have the state-of-the-art LSAW Pipe Mill out there and successfully started pipe production in 2019.

The main concept of the mill is mass production for on-shore and off-shore sour service line pipes and various kinds of construction pipes.

Our company may be new in this region, but our mill consists of 1) New technology, 2) A lot of JFE Steel’s experience of LSAW pipe production and 3) Experienced engineers and well trained, skilful operators.

We are proud of the highly advanced technology and excellent human resources.

We hope to greatly contribute to the further development of the UAE through our pipe production.
