Established Abu Dhabi Electrical & Automation Contractor

Core Service Lines:

1. Electrical Contracting — Design, supply, installation, and commissioning of electrical systems for commercial and industrial clients including power distribution, protection systems, and grid infrastructure.

2. Automation & SCADA Systems — End-to-end delivery of industrial automation and SCADA control/monitoring systems for utilities and industrial facilities, covering design, integration, testing, and commissioning.

3. Cybersecurity Integration — Integration of cybersecurity solutions into operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems, protecting critical infrastructure from digital threats — a differentiating capability in the regional market.

4. Engineering & Project Management — Full engineering design, procurement support, and project management services across electrical infrastructure and automation projects.

Pricing Model: Primarily project-based contracting (fixed-price or cost-plus contracts) with supplementary consulting and professional service fees for feasibility studies, front-end engineering design, and cybersecurity assessments.

Customer Base: B2B — commercial developers, industrial facility operators, and utility/infrastructure entities in Abu Dhabi and the wider UAE. The company serves clients who require reliable electrical infrastructure, automation, and increasingly, cybersecurity-hardened OT environments.

Market Positioning: A five-year-established contractor with a strong technical reputation in a niche where few local players combine deep electrical engineering expertise with automation and cybersecurity integration. This cross-discipline capability is a meaningful differentiator.

Revenue Visibility: The company currently holds approximately AED 7.1M in active ongoing works and AED 2.6M in newly awarded contracts, providing strong short-term revenue visibility and operational continuity for an incoming buyer.

Market Trends: Strong tailwinds from (1) UAE's continued investment in critical infrastructure and grid modernisation, (2) growing demand for industrial automation and smart-system deployments, and (3) increasing regulatory focus on cybersecurity for operational technology in the region.

Team: Lean core team of 4 employees operating in a cost-efficient structure. The company previously operated with a larger engineering workforce and has since optimised its overhead structure while maintaining full project execution capability and delivery standards.

Owner Involvement: The owner is actively involved in business development, client relationships, and strategic direction. Day-to-day project execution is managed by the core technical team.

Operations: Based in Abu Dhabi with an operational office and a registered office per the economic licence. The lean structure keeps annual overheads at approximately AED 30,000, providing a highly efficient cost base.

Assets Included in Sale:

• Trade license and company registration
• Active project contracts and secured pipeline (AED 9.7M total)
• Pending receivables of approximately AED 500,000
• Established client relationships and goodwill
• Engineering systems and operational infrastructure
• Technical know-how and project execution framework

Quick Wins (0–12 months):

• Convert the existing AED 2.6M in newly awarded contracts into completed milestones and revenue — immediate cash flow upon takeover.
• Collect the AED 500,000 in pending receivables for near-term cash injection.
• Add recurring service and maintenance contracts for installed automation and SCADA systems to build annuity-style revenue alongside project-based income.

Bigger Plays (1–3 years):

• Pursue large-scale government tenders for electrical and automation infrastructure — the established trade license and 5-year track record open doors to pre-qualification that new entrants cannot access.
• Expand cybersecurity integration services into adjacent sectors (oil & gas, transport, water) where OT security requirements are accelerating.
• Scale into adjacent GCC markets (Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman) leveraging the UAE track record and existing client relationships.
• Build a dedicated industrial automation division to capture the region's growing demand for smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0 deployments.

Reason for Sale: The owner is seeking liquidity and capital reallocation — presenting an opportunity for investors or industry operators to acquire a running engineering company with active contracts, established operations, and strong growth potential.
