Adnoc Distribution, the UAE’s largest mobility and convenience retailer, joined the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology’s (MoIAT) “Muntajat Watan’na” initiative at this week’s “Make it in the Emirates” exhibition (MIITE), held at the Adnec Centre in Abu Dhabi.
Through this programme, Adnoc Distribution is showcasing the quality and innovation of UAE products, with select locally-made items featured prominently in Adnoc Oasis stores across the country until the end of the year.
Adnoc Distribution also announced its collaboration with the UAE Federal Youth Authority (FYA) to highlight Emirati-owned SMEs through its Youth Corner initiative, featuring brands such as Emirates Beekeepers, Banna Brothers, LIWA Hot Sauce and NUWA.
Products from these home-grown brands will be available for sale as part of a three-month pilot at select UAE locations.
Eng. Bader Saeed Al Lamki, CEO of Adnoc Distribution, said, “By championing local brands and products, and forging strong partnerships with home-grown suppliers, Adnoc Distribution is helping to build resilient supply chains, empower Emirati entrepreneurs and support the UAE’s vision for a more self-reliant, sustainable economy.”
Adnoc Distribution operated a pop-up Adnoc Oasis convenience store this week at MIITE, which, for the first time, featured 100 per cent UAE-made products for sale. The unique store showcased locally-roasted coffee, food, and speciality beverages, underscoring the company’s commitment to supporting the growth of the UAE’s food industry.
The pop-up store reflects Adnoc Distribution’s broader strategy to prioritise UAE-made products across its convenience retail network.
Adnoc Distribution also announced a new agreement with Al Ain Farms Group to supply dairy ingredients for Adnoc Oasis coffee, beverages and quick-service food.
These initiatives underscore Adnoc Distribution’s continued commitment to elevating the UAE’s industrial capabilities, empowering local talent, and promoting homegrown businesses.
The company remains focused on strengthening the UAE’s position as a global hub for innovation and manufacturing excellence, both through Adnoc Oasis and through its other product lines, such as the Adnoc Voyager lubricant line, which is proudly made in the UAE and exported to 47 markets worldwide.
Adnoc Distribution also fosters partnerships with both established and emerging UAE brands, including its recently announced strategic partnership with noon, the UAE’s leading homegrown digital delivery service. Meanwhile Adnoc Distribution has reiterated its commitment to sustainable industrial development and boosting local content through its participation in the “Make it in the Emirates” 2025, a leading national platform for driving innovation and empowering Emirati talent.
Speaking to the Emirates News Agency, Eng. Bader Al Lamki, CEO of Adnoc Distribution, stated that the company’s participation in the forum reflects its strategy to support national products and empower young Emirati entrepreneurs.
He noted that Adnoc Distribution is committed to strengthening local supply chains through quality-driven initiatives, including the manufacturing of “Adnoc Voyager” lubricants in the UAE. He added that additional production lines have been established in Egypt, with exports reaching 47 global markets.
Adnoc Voyager is the UAE’s leading lubricant brand, and is exported to 47 countries worldwide.
Adnoc Distribution recently introduced Voyager Platinum Plus Eco, the UAE’s first lubricant product that conforms to API SQ / ILSAC GF-7, the next generation of engine oil standards. Voyager Platinum Plus Eco is one of the first lubricants in the world to adhere to this standard, introduced at the end of March.
He stated that by the end of this month, Adnoc Distribution plans to make “Adnoc Voyager” lubricants officially available through independent distributors in Egypt, further expanding the brand’s presence beyond Adnoc Distribution service stations.
Adnoc Distribution CEO also noted that partnerships with startups and local brands reflect Adnoc Distribution’s keenness to invest in and empower Emirati talent.
Adnoc Distribution is taking part in the “Make it in the Emirates”, reinforcing its commitment to the UAE’s industrial strategy, youth empowerment, and local economic development. Through a series of strategic initiatives, Adnoc Distribution is showcasing its leadership in supporting UAE-made products, youth entrepreneurship, and sustainable local supply chains.
Make it in the Emirates supports the National Strategy for Industry and Advanced Technology by localising supply chains, enabling industrial growth through partnerships and investments, and promoting AI-driven innovation, financing, and startup empowerment.
Adnoc also announced that it has signed framework agreements valued at Dhs6 billion ($1.64 billion) with 12 UAE-based companies for manufacturing of critical industrial equipment in the UAE, supporting the ‘Make it in the Emirates’ initiative.
