The defence business has been a vertical of immense growth for ABG. As a reliable, established supplier of range of high quality military products and supplies. Our expertise has lead to great interest in several Middle East clients. This division acts as a regional consultant, covering GCC countries for military product supplies. It is currently involved in a number of projects related to the offset program where defence suppliers are required to discharge their obligations for supplying military hardware in Abu Dhabi.
The UAE army has been one of ABG's main clients. We are honoured to have played a key role in the development of world's largest 8x8 on -road/off -road Tank Transporter, along with the heaviest 8x8 Recovery Vehicle. Both were developed as an outcome of a blend of Western dynamic components and Eastern advanced heavy automotive engineering featuring a unique chassis design, axles and independent suspension.
ABG has also secured a contract with GHQ for the modernization program of the Oto Melara OF40 Tank to render it compatible with any of today's most advanced ICVs. After the success of a prototype test in the deserts of the UAE, ABG has currently constructed a workshop in Abu Dhabi to help execute the serial production program.
We have also teamed up with Australian company Mincom to supply, implement and maintain a Military total-Integrated Logistics Information System (MILIS) for the United Arab Emirates army that can offer support to the last tactical mile in an active war zone.
