Al Jaber Group

What Al Jaber Group does

Al Jaber Group is a privately-held diversified conglomerate headquartered in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, founded in 1970 and operating with 10,000+ employees across the UAE, Qatar, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The group is structured into three main divisions — Construction, Logistics, and Industrial & Trading — and operates through 30+ wholly-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures. The Construction division covers transport and general contracting, building construction, energy services for oil and gas, landscaping, bitumen production, and process systems engineering (Global Process Systems). The Logistics division delivers heavy lift and specialized transport (Al Jaber Heavy Lift), shipping agency and marine works, equipment and vehicle leasing, and catering services for industrial camps and work sites. The Industrial & Trading division spans manufacturing of aluminium extrusions and fabrication, steel products and iron foundry, glass and GRP pipes, granite and marble, precast and prefab concrete (Xtramix), composite panels, industrial filters, signage, and lighting.

The group's underlying technology is industrial rather than digital: vertically integrated manufacturing capacity for construction materials, specialized heavy lift equipment fleets, and process engineering capabilities delivered via joint ventures with Deutsche Babcock, VEOLIA, Trakker, Hytec Abu Dhabi, and Global Intelligent Systems. The group generates revenue primarily through project-based contracts (one-time license / project delivery) in construction and contracting, supplemented by professional services in logistics and hardware sales in industrial & trading. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting government and state-owned enterprise clients, anchored by long-standing relationships with ADNOC, ZADCO, Siemens PTE LTD, and Abu Dhabi government entities including Musanada, with the majority of revenue concentrated in oil & gas, infrastructure, and government segments across the GCC. Safety credentials are a key qualification asset, evidenced by 73 million man-hours without LTI on ADNOC's Ruwais Housing Complex Expansion Phase 4 and a Guinness World Record for most LED lamps installed on a public road.
