During the Make It in the Emirates Forum held from May 19 to 22 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, EDGE Group announced a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Specialist Mechanical Engineers (SME), a South African company specializing in turnkey HVAC and complex mechanical system solutions.
The agreement marks a significant step for EDGE’s subsidiary TRUST, a core entity dedicated to national security and defense capabilities, known for delivering advanced equipment and technologies. The collaboration aims to manufacture critical land vehicle components locally in the UAE, bolstering the country’s industrial and defense manufacturing ecosystem.
The MoU was signed by Dr. Jasem Al Zaabi, Vice President of Business Development for Trading & Mission Support at EDGE, and Iwan Agema, Managing Director of SME. This partnership aligns with the UAE’s broader strategy to enhance local production capabilities and reduce reliance on imports in strategic sectors.
