Emsteel Group, one of the region’s largest publicly listed producers of steel and construction materials, has announced its key contribution to the development of the Zayed National Museum located in the Cultural District on Saadiyat Island. The museum was inaugurated by His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, may God protect him, in the presence of Their Highnesses, Members of the Federal Supreme Council and Rulers of the Emirates, coinciding with the nation’s celebrations of the 54th Union Day. The museum stands as a leading cultural landmark, honoring the legacy of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and celebrating the unity, rich heritage, and remarkable development journey of the UAE.
During the construction phase, Emsteel supplied the project with essential steel and building materials, including up to 24,000 tonnes of rebar, as well as direct deliveries of concrete products totaling 25,000 units. The company also provided approximately 100,000 tonnes of bulk cement over a three-year period to support the museum’s construction works.
On this occasion, Engineer Saeed Ghumran Al Remeithi, CEO of Emsteel Group, said:
“The inauguration of the Zayed National Museum on the 54th Union Day marks a significant milestone in the UAE’s history. It reflects the vision of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, may his soul rest in peace, and highlights the UAE’s exceptional progress. As pioneers of the national industrial sector, we at Emsteel are proud that our steel and construction materials contributed to a landmark of such cultural and historical importance. This project underscores our role in supporting the UAE’s long-term development and our dedication to strengthening an industrial sector that continues to shape the nation’s future.”
