Under its new industrial services strategy, Sanad will contribute to the economic diversification agenda and help position the UAE as a global industrial hub. Its future offering will be focused on providing technology-driven and integrated industrial services.

Building on our track record of more than three decades of experience in the commercial aviation sector, Sanad is ready to take the next step forward and become the source-to-go, one-stop shop for the broader industrial services sector. “MANSOOR’S KNOWLEDGE AND WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE WILL BE INVALUABLE IN THIS DECISIVE PHASE FOR THE COMPANY AS IT BUILDS ON ITS STRONG PERFORMANCE TO PROVIDE INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO SUPPORT THE GROWTH OF SANAD OVER THE NEXT DECADE.”

This is also in line with UAE Investments strategy to accelerate the diversification of the UAE’s economy and grow our national champions in multiple sectors.”

Commenting on his appointment, Janahi said: “The UAE has an amazing track record of industrialization to build on, and a strong footprint in industrial services. These capabilities and prominent market presence have been developed in record time. If we look at the aerospace industry, and Sanad specifically, we have managed to create a truly homegrown success story and a globally recognized industry leader.

“In line with its new strategy, Sanad will continue leveraging synergies with international partners, we will develop new and innovative service concepts that combine both our industrial and financial knowledge. Ultimately, our vision for the future is to develop profitable and sustainable industrial service offerings to address the ever-changing needs of clients across multiple sectors.
