The UAE’s oil and gas industry today is one of the prime servers of energy needs across the world and has immensely succeeded in harnessing cutting edge technologies to satisfy the rapidly expanding needs for oil and natural gas in both developed and developing countries.

Emdad, as the vital source of support to the region’s oil and gas sectors for over twenty years has evolved itself to live up to the market needs and contribute to the nation’s progress and growth.
Today, Emdad is fully geared to enable its customers with state-of-the-art products and services, from its principals across the globe who are long-standing leaders in their specific fields.
Restructuring to reinforce core competencies
Established in 1980, Emdad, previously known as Al Bawardi Oil and Gas, is the flagship company of the Al bawardi Enterprises, a group that has displayed a proven ability to adapt to changing times.
Drawing strength from its mainstay activities in the petroleum industry, AE has diversified interests in segments such as oil and gas, information technology, marine services, offshore construction, contract furnishing, marketing communications etc.
It was this futuristic vision of the AE Group, which envisaged the company’s restructuring into Emdad, a meaningful move towards garnering strengths to capitalise on emerging opportunities at the beginning of the new millennium.
Emdad has forged excellent rapport with the biggest corporates in the UAE, such as Adnoc, Gasco, Zadco, Adwea and Adma-Opco among others by dint of their unfaltering focus on customer needs and commitment to serve them in the best way possible.
Realigning strengths to serve better: Emdad’s acknowledged capabilities stem from its in-depth knowledge of the regional market with its distinct character, and its perfect understanding of market-specific needs.
The company’s active links with over hundred international principals enable it to offer cutting edge solutions, tailor-made to the region’s special requirements, mainly of the oil and gas, petrochemical, environmental and power industries. Emdad offers a wide range of state-of-the-art products and services relating to drilling and workover, control, instrumentation, safety and inspection, engineering products and projects and contracting services.
Emdad integrates divergent divisions that match the technical/engineering organisation and are conversant with the purchasing practices of their major customers in the UAE, and address their various needs cost-effectively.
Each division is professionally structured to ensure the highest level of support to customers in their specific areas.
Adding impetus to the Emiratisation process and enhancing the investment opportunities for nationals in key sectors, Emdad expanded its stakeholder base to include prominent UAE nationals and is today one of the pioneers in the private sector to make its mark in the growing UAE capital market
Evolving as a regional vital source
Taking strengths from its rich experience over twenty years and its inherent understanding of the Middle East market, Emdad has already made meaningful moves to extend its operations to a wider geographical region.
The company aims to grow their business in the Middle East by exploring new opportunities, introducing and assisting principals into new markets and building new relationships with customers in these areas.
Regional bases have been set up in Qatar and Syria, while preliminary work is being undertaken to tap potential markets such as Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Egypt, Sudan and Algeria.
Quality - the key word
Over the years Emdad has, for its principals and customers alike, embodied the spirit of commitment to customer satisfaction through an endless pursuit of excellence and conformance to benchmarks for best practices.
One of the early companies to be ISO 9000 certified, Emdad unfailingly adheres to these standards.
A moment of pride for the company was its being awarded the Sheikh Khalifa Excellence Award 2000, in the very first year of its inception, endorsing the values and ideals that Emdad adhere to.
“Energy is the vital resource that has made our nation’s growth and progress a reality in an amazingly short span.” .observes Mansour Alami, GM AE Group.
