Polar Specialized Industries: Expanding with KEZAD

Polar Specialized Industries

The company, which was founded in 2010 in the UAE to serve the country and region’s energy and other heavy industries, started its operations in Abu Dhabi in 2019. It is based on a foundation of forty years of dedication, trust, and the highest calibre requirements. With a bedrock foundation in the refrigeration industry, PSI develops system components for usage in industrial projects of all scales and sizes.
REQUIREMENT

For Polar Specialized Industries (PSI) LLC, a subsidiary of privately-owned holding company Taha Investment Group, the capacity to produce and assemble specialised industrial components close to its customers in the petrochemical, refrigeration, and oil and gas industries is essential to the smooth and effective operation of its business.

The company, which was founded in 2010 in the UAE to serve the country and region’s energy and other heavy industries, started its operations in Abu Dhabi in 2019. It is based on a foundation of forty years of dedication, trust, and the highest calibre requirements. With a bedrock foundation in the refrigeration industry, PSI develops system components for usage in industrial projects of all scales and sizes.

PSI claims that its most promising feature is its ability to provide turnkey solutions, which are well-integrated into a system that connects and operates seamlessly on local as well as international scales. The company decided to establish a new manufacturing unit in KEZAD with these critical questions in mind:

  1. How quickly it can respond to the requirement of energy and other heavy industries in the region?
  2. How could the company ensure timely delivery to its growing customer bases in the UAE and beyond?
  3. How it can ensure the availability of raw materials, utilities, and infrastructure necessary to carry out the operations?
PSI provides products and services that reflect the 55 years of experience of its sister companies in the UAE. TIG’s in-house capabilities and know-how allow it to deliver the highest-quality products and services throughout the entire project life cycle of an industry.
SOLUTION

The spacious location and the connectivity provided by KEZAD made it a preferred location for PSI to set up its new plant, which fabricates extremely large equipment that is used in a wide range of local and international applications. The company needed a spacious location that was close to Khalifa Port, and KEZAD offered an unmatched strategic location. According to the company, KEZAD provided them with distinctive benefits, which can potentially help it achieve its growth objectives and uphold its basic principles. These benefits included:
  1. Connectivity: PSI benefited from KEZAD's proximity to important regional industrial and energy hubs. The company also kept other advantages, such as quick access to markets through multimodal connections, availability of raw materials, and smooth linkage to Khalifa port, while deciding to set up a manufacturing unit in KEZAD.
  2. Lower operational cost: Because of a favourable tax and duty structure, a plentiful and consistent energy supply at a competitive price, and a very low utility rate, PSL has been able to lower its overall operating costs and provide its major customers with goods and services at extremely competitive prices.
  3. Government support: Apart from policy support, the government's investment in high-quality infrastructure and facilities fosters an environment that is very favourable to the expansion of Abu Dhabi's industry.

When we assessed KEZAD as a potential option, we saw a range of benefits that suited the logistics of our company

OUTCOME

Polar Specialised Industries' manufacturing facility is the largest production facility in the United Arab Emirates, spanning a total land area of approximately 23,617 square metres, of which 2,350 square metres have been set aside for future growth. Its extension into AD Port Group's KEZAD has been strategically significant.
  1. The company’s manufacturing facility in KEZAD, Abu Dhabi, houses the production of pressure vessels, storage tanks, racks & packages, valve stations, customised mobile containers, thermal insulated doors, high-speed doors, and PE swing doors. The facility is also used for offering surface preparation through sandblasting and spray painting.
  2. PSI primarily uses its KEZAD manufacturing base for its B2B operations and its products are applied in various industry segments. Its engineering services allowed our sister company ADEAREST to fulfill their client’s specifications for the effective refrigeration of fruits and vegetables on a farm site in the UAE.
  3. The company’s major industry segments are the Oil & Gas, Petrochemical and Refrigeration sectors. Besides pressure equipment and customised cooling solutions, it also produces thermal insulated doors for commercial, semi-industrial and industrial use.
KEZAD’s proximity to Khalifa Port allows PSI to efficiently ship finished products to its clients worldwide. Upon evaluating KEZAD as a prospective choice for setting up the base, the company observed several advantages that aligned with its organisational objectives.
