US plane maker Boeing and its UAE-based partner Tawazun Precision Industries (TPI) have broken ground on a new treatment facility for metallic parts in Abu Dhabi.
Company representatives said the factory at the Tawazun Industrial Park will introduce a new aerospace manufacturing capability in the Gulf region.
The project, made possible by the Tawazun Economic Council, was first announced at the Dubai Air Show in 2013, and is scheduled to be operational in 2016.
"We are pleased to be part of this unique project which further fosters the UAE's regional leadership in high-technology defense manufacturing," said Saif Al Hajeri, CEO of Tawazun.
"The establishment of this capability is a significant step for the UAE's aerospace industry, as the metallic components manufacturing and metallic sub-assembly will be entirely performed in the UAE."
A statement said the project will create high value jobs in the UAE, and enable TPI the opportunity to produce complex metallic assemblies for Boeing and its suppliers around the world.
"This new complex will be a state-of-the-art facility that will contribute to the growth of the UAE aerospace industry," said Bernie Dunn, president of Boeing Middle East.
"The development of key capabilities through partnerships is of mutual benefit to both Boeing and the UAE."
"This project is a significant strategic investment and a key enabler for TPI , which will secure a sustainable titanium and aluminium machining capability, with the potential to become a regional and global centre of excellence," added Dr Phillip Lewis, the CEO of Tawazun Precision Industries.
A unit of The Boeing Company, Boeing Defence, Space & Security is a $33 billion business with 58,000 employees worldwide.
