Fives inaugurates an Advanced Manufacturing Facility in Abu Dhabi, UAE
Fives inaugurated its new Fives Industrial Technologies facility in KEZAD’s Metal Park. The 2,000-square-metre site reinforces Abu Dhabi’s position as a regional hub for innovation, industrial services, and advanced manufacturing.
The new facility will serve as a regional hub for fabrication, repair, industrial maintenance, and new product design. It integrates advanced technologies such as 3D metal printing through AddUp, Fives’s additive manufacturing subsidiary, enabling applications across the medical, aerospace, defence, and energy sectors. The site currently employs over 20 skilled professionals and will continue to grow as it supports technology transfer and the training of new Emirati talent.
Frédéric Sanchez, Chairman of the Board and CEO of Fives Group, added:
“This facility marks a significant step in our mission to deliver world-class industrial solutions. By integrating 3D metal printing and digital design systems, we are advancing innovation and sustainable manufacturing from Abu Dhabi to the world. Together with ADIO and KEZAD, we are proud to help build a future-ready industrial ecosystem.”
Mohamed Al Khadar Al Ahmed, CEO, KEZAD Group said:
"Fives’ decision to establish its advanced manufacturing facility in KEZAD’s Metal Park reflects the strength of our integrated industrial ecosystem. KEZAD is committed to providing world-class infrastructure, streamlined processes, and strategic partnerships that enable global innovators to thrive in Abu Dhabi. This project is a testament to how collaboration under initiatives like Make It in the Emirates accelerates industrial growth and positions the UAE as a leader in advanced manufacturing."
