Abu Dhabi’s MAG Group invests US$50 million in innovative blending facility

MAG Lubricants has opened a state-of the-art new blending facility in Jebel Ali’s greater industrial zone in the United Arab Emirates.
MAG Lubricants operates under the bigger MAG Group umbrella, which was founded in Abu Dhabi in 1978. The parent company has invested US$50 million for the project.
The plant features two new smart buildings, one houses the storage facility while the other is the manufacturing facility. UK’s Mott MacDonald provided both project oversight and design consultancy. The main time and labour saving technology installed at the 30,000 square meter structure is an Automatic Batch Blending (ABB) system developed by Leroux & Lotz of France.
“The new facility has been in the pipeline for the past two to three years. The overall build project took 18 months, from start to finish,” said Mahmoud-Al-Theraawi, CEO of MAG Lubricants.
“MAG Lubricants now has better levels of quality control and can respond far quicker to demand which ensures end client satisfaction in accordance to ISO 9001 standards,” he said.
MAG Group first entered the industrial sector by manufacturing automotive spare parts, filters and accessories. Later, it started producing lubricating greases, as well as blending and packaging engine oils.
