NEXTCHEM (MAIRE), a leader in technological solutions to industrialize the energy transition, has opened its new regional office in Abu Dhabi, marking a major milestone in the company’s strategic expansion across the Middle East.
NEXTCHEM, a part of MAIRE Group, is a multinational engineering player in the downstream energy services with solid Italian roots. The group is present in 50 countries with more than 10,200 people and a track record of over 1,500 projects completed worldwide.
MAIRE has been active in the UAE since the late 1990s through its engineering and construction business unit TECNIMONT, with several strategic projects executed in the Gulf area to support its economic and social development.
TECNIMONT and NEXTCHEM are both currently working on ADNOC’s Hail and Ghasha onshore development, which is one of the most important initiatives globally to decarbonize the gas processing industry. The Group is also active in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman with several other strategic initiatives.
NEXTCHEM, which heads MAIRE’s Sustainable Technology Solutions (STS) business unit, is now strengthening its footprint in the region with its cutting-edge portfolio of technologies and innovative solutions supporting decarbonization across three business lines: Sustainable Fertilizers and Nitrogen-Based Fuels, Low-Carbon Energy Vectors, and Sustainable Materials and Circular Solutions.

Building on two decades of trusted engineering know-how through TECNIMONT, we are now bringing NEXTCHEM’s technology portfolio to support the decarbonization objectives of our clients.”
“Customers are looking for partners that can combine proven project delivery with innovative, competitive, economically viable technological solutions.
