NEXTCHEM is part of MAIRE Group, which has been active in the UAE since the late 1990s through its engineering and construction business unit TECNIMONT, with several strategic projects executed in the Gulf area to support its economic and social development.
TECNIMONT and NEXTCHEM are both currently working on ADNOC’s Hail and Ghasha onshore development, which is one of the most important initiatives globally to decarbonise the gas processing industry.
The Group is also active in Saudia Arabia, Qatar and Oman, with other several strategic initiatives. NEXTCHEM, which heads MAIRE’s Sustainable Technology Solutions (STS) business unit, is now strengthening its footprint in the region with its cutting-edge portfolio of technologies and innovative solutions supporting decarbonisation across three business lines: Sustainable Fertilizers & Nitrogen-Based Fuels, Low-Carbon Energy Vectors, and Sustainable Materials and Circular Solutions.
The opening event was attended by the Members of the MAIRE’s Board of Directors together with senior executives of NEXTCHEM, as well as the CEO of BOROUGE Group, Hazeem Al Suwaidi and other ADNOC officials, H.E. Lorenzo Fanara, the Italian Ambassador to the UAE, and Mr. Youssef Al Nowais, MAIRE’s long-term industrial partner and shareholder.
“The opening of NEXTCHEM’s regional offices underscores our long-term commitment to the UAE and the wider Middle East region,” said Mohammed Nafid, Middle East STS Region Vice President. “Building on two decades of trusted engineering know-how through TECNIMONT, we are now bringing NEXTCHEM’s technology portfolio to support the decarbonisation objectives of our clients. Customers are looking for partners that can combine proven project delivery with innovative, competitive, economically viable technological solutions,” added Nafid. “Our Abu Dhabi base will allow us to work even more closely with stakeholders to reinforce the region’s global leadership in the energy transition —project by project.”
