Emsteel Group continues to strengthen its presence in global energy projects by supplying heavy and jumbo structural steel sections to energy projects, offshore platforms as well as industrial infrastructure.
The group has supplied more than 170,000 tonnes of structural steel products to the energy sector during the 2025–2026 period, contributing to the development of at least 55 major projects across 15 countries spanning the GCC region, North America, Europe, South Asia and Africa, an Emirates News Agency (WAM) report said.
Emsteel’s capabilities are underpinned by an integrated industrial base in Abu Dhabi, with an annual production capacity of one million tonnes of heavy and jumbo structural sections, as part of its total steel production capacity of 3.5 million tonnes per year.
Market reach
Together with a market reach spanning more than 70 countries, this capacity enables the group to meet the demanding engineering requirements of major energy and industrial projects.
Among the key projects supported by Emsteel are a number of strategic developments across the UAE, the region and global markets, including Adnoc projects at the Hail & Ghasha and Zakum fields, alongside Saudi Aramco projects and major LNG and industrial developments in North America, such as Rio Grande LNG, Woodside Louisiana LNG and Port Arthur LNG. Emsteel supplied its products to these projects in collaboration with some of the world’s leading engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) companies.
Emsteel’s heavy and jumbo structural sections have been used in the construction of energy facilities and industrial developments across these projects, working closely with leading global EPC companies, including Bechtel, Fluor, Técnicas Reunidas, NMDC Energy, Saipem and Kiewit.
Supply chains
As one of the Middle East’s leading producers of heavy and jumbo structural sections, Emsteel is well positioned to meet the requirements of international energy companies and EPC contractors and participate in supply chains supporting strategic projects. This strengthens the presence of UAE-manufactured industrial products in global markets while supporting the group’s strategy to increase the contribution of specialised, higher-value products to its business.
Eng Saeed Ghumran Al Remeithi, Group CEO of Emsteel, said: “The energy sector is one of the strategic industries we are focused on serving through specialised steel products. We believe the role of national industry extends beyond supplying essential materials to supporting the delivery of major projects and the development of energy infrastructure worldwide. We have invested in building advanced manufacturing capabilities that enable us to meet the engineering requirements of these projects and strengthen our competitiveness in international markets.”
He added: “Looking ahead, our priority is to expand our presence in global energy supply chains by developing higher-value products and strengthening partnerships with international energy companies and EPC contractors. Through these efforts, we aim to reinforce the UAE’s position as a global industrial hub capable of supporting strategic projects with advanced, locally manufactured products, while translating our industrial capabilities into new opportunities for growth and international expansion.”
Asset Enhancement Programme
Emsteel is implementing an AED625 million ($170.18 million) Asset Enhancement Programme aimed at improving operational efficiency and expanding its portfolio of advanced steel products, including heavy and jumbo structural sections used in energy projects and heavy industries.
The programme includes upgrades to rolling technologies and production capabilities for heavy structural sections using Thermo-Mechanical Controlled Processing (TMCP) and Quenched and Self-Tempered (QST) technologies. These technologies enhance the strength, durability and mechanical performance of steel products, making them suitable for complex construction projects, including major infrastructure and energy facilities.—TradeArabia News Service
