“These strong financial results reflect the resilience of Senaat’s business model, and its adaptability and sustainability in the face of volatile and challenging market conditions. We are proud of the company’s remarkable achievements in its different sectors and we look forward to continuing this growth and capitalising on investment opportunities to maximise shareholder value,” said Dr Mohammad Rashed Al Hameli, Chairman of Senaat in a statement.

“In 2018, Senaat has continued to successfully deliver towards supporting Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030. The company has played a significant role in progressing Abu Dhabi’s vision to diversify economic resources and reduce dependence on the oil and gas sector by developing a solid industrial base that enables Senaat to compete globally.”

We have been able to successfully fund investments, as well as build strategic partnerships, that will further strengthen and grow Senaat’s industrial portfolio,” said Jamal Salem Al Dhaheri, CEO of the company.
