ENATA has announced its expansion to Abu Dhabi with a new state-of-the-art complex on a 100,000 sq m plot. This expansion into Abu Dhabi follows ENATA’s strategic partnership with Ajyal Holding to further fuel ENATA’s growth in the region.

The new site will be purpose-built to expand ENATA's advanced manufacturing capabilities, with a USD 20 million investment in machinery, from high-precision robots and gantry systems to micron-accuracy machines, as well as metal 3D printing.

Construction will begin in summer 2026, with the completion scheduled in 2027.

Located along 200 metres of waterfront, the facility will significantly enhance ENATA's ability to test and manufacture new products, including the FOILER GHOST, the world's first 28-metre private foiling yacht, unveiled at the Abu Dhabi International Boat Show in 2025. The first vessel is scheduled for launch in 2029.

The marine operation will support the production of different vessels, also there will be a dry dock and refit capabilities for yachts of up to 60 metres.

“We are very proud to be moving our headquarters to Abu Dhabi,” said Alois Vieujot, CEO of ENATA Group. “This move will expand our capabilities and capacity, and reinforces our commitment to the UAE. It also reflects the resilience of the Emirates, demonstrated time and again. We will place strong emphasis on innovation and partnerships through our incubator and academy, which will open within the new site to accelerate growth in the aerospace and marine industries.”

In addition to the over 20,000 sqm dedicated to Marine production, ENATA’s new facilities will house engineering and R&D facilities, as well as facilities dedicated to composite manufacturing, machinery, aerospace production, automotive production, and a guest experience center.

In order to accommodate the UAE’s industrial growth and the innovation in ENATA’s industries, the facilities will also house an academy, as well as a dedicated area as an incubator.
