ADNOC Distribution Showcases UAE-Made Products At ADNOC Oasis Stores To Support Local Economy

ADNOC Distribution, the UAE's leading mobility and convenience retailer, has joined the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology's "Muntajat Watan'na" initiative. This collaboration was announced at the "Make it in the Emirates" exhibition held at the ADNEC Centre in Abu Dhabi. The initiative aims to showcase UAE products, with select items featured in ADNOC Oasis stores nationwide until year-end.

In partnership with the UAE Federal Youth Authority, ADNOC Distribution is promoting Emirati-owned SMEs through its Youth Corner initiative. Brands like Emirates Beekeepers, Banna Brothers, LIWA Hot Sauce, and NUWA will have their products available for a three-month trial at selected locations. This effort highlights local entrepreneurship and innovation.

ADNOC Distribution also introduced a pop-up ADNOC Oasis store at the exhibition, offering exclusively UAE-made products for sale. This temporary store featured locally-roasted coffee, food, and speciality beverages. It reflects ADNOC Distribution’s strategy to prioritise UAE-made goods across its retail network.

Eng. Bader Saeed Al Lamki, CEO of ADNOC Distribution, stated: "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." This commitment is evident in their initiatives supporting local industries.

Additionally, ADNOC Distribution has signed an agreement with Al Ain Farms Group to supply dairy ingredients for its coffee and quick-service food offerings at ADNOC Oasis stores. This partnership further supports local agriculture and food production sectors.

Strategic Partnerships

The company continues to strengthen its position as a global hub for innovation by fostering partnerships with both established and emerging UAE brands. A notable collaboration is with noon, a leading homegrown digital delivery service in the UAE. These alliances enhance ADNOC Distribution's reach and impact.

ADNOC Distribution's efforts extend beyond retail to include other product lines like the ADNOC Voyager lubricant line. Proudly made in the UAE, this product is exported to 47 markets worldwide. Such initiatives highlight their role in promoting manufacturing excellence on a global scale.

ADNOC Distribution remains dedicated to elevating the UAE's industrial capabilities by empowering local talent and promoting homegrown businesses. Through these strategic initiatives and collaborations, they aim to bolster the nation's economic resilience and sustainability goals.
