12 May 2026 CW Team

ADIO said the partnership aligns with its strategy to accelerate high-value industrial investments and build resilient supply chains across priority sectors, further reinforcing Abu Dhabi’s competitiveness as a regional and global manufacturing and export hub.

Under the partnership, a large-scale integrated manufacturing facility is being developed to produce a wide range of automotive components for Motherson’s global operations as well as third-party original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers. The project is expected to generate more than 1,000 jobs across technical, engineering, manufacturing and corporate roles, supporting Emiratisation and enabling greater participation of national talent. It is also expected to contribute to knowledge transfer and capability building within advanced industrial sectors.

The facility will be located within Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (KEZAD) and is being developed in phases on a single land plot of approximately 87,652 square metres. Construction work is already underway.

Once fully operational, the manufacturing hub will function as a regional production and export base, leveraging Abu Dhabi’s world-class logistics and connectivity infrastructure. ADIO highlighted that the project will benefit from the emirate’s strong trade network, including access through AD Ports Group, enabling efficient movement of goods to both regional and international markets and strengthening integration across automotive supply chains.

ADIO added that the partnership reflects Abu Dhabi’s continued focus on creating an enabling industrial ecosystem that integrates infrastructure, connectivity and business support. The project is expected to support the growth of non-oil exports, enhance local supply chains, advance industrial capabilities and further establish Abu Dhabi as a globally competitive manufacturing destination.
