Jotun is commemorating 30 years of operations in Abu Dhabi, marking a milestone that reflects the company’s long-standing relationship and continuous contribution to the emirate’s development.
Since establishing Jotun’s presence as the first international paint manufacturer in Abu Dhabi, the company has steadily evolved into a trusted partner for major projects across energy, architectural and residential sectors, providing advanced paint and coating technologies, technical expertise and a consistent commitment to quality that has earned the brand a leading position in the market.
Some notable examples include the iconic Abu Dhabi International Airport, Capital Tower, Aldar Headquarters, ADNOC Tower, ADNEC Tower and Al Raha Gardens Community, among many others.
Substantial investment
As part of this commitment, Jotun is making a substantial investment of close to AED 400mn to develop a new, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility at ICAD–III in Abu Dhabi.
This major upgrade will significantly enhance the company’s production capabilities, enabling the factory to reach nearly 60mn litres in annual output, representing a 50% increase in operational delivery for Abu Dhabi.
The new production facility will be designed around advanced automation, digital systems and smart manufacturing technologies that enhance precision, consistency, sustainability and overall efficiency.
Growth story
“Abu Dhabi has been central to Jotun’s growth story in the region, and this milestone allows us to look ahead with even greater ambition,”asserted Svein Johan Stub, General Manager, Jotun Abu Dhabi.
“Our new facility will represent a powerful shift in how we manufacture, blending advanced automation with decades of technical expertise to create a smarter, more efficient operation. This investment will strengthen our ability to support major projects in the capital while positioning Jotun for the next chapter of growth,” he added.
