India and United Arab Emirates (UAE) enjoy strong bonds of friendship based on age-old cultural, religious and economic ties between the two nations. UAE is home to Indian expatriate community of more than 3.5 million - the largest expatriate community in the UAE. The Indian community has played a major role in the economic development of the UAE. The UAE is now India's third-largest trading partner, behind only the economic giants of China and the United States. And simultaneously India is the second-largest trading partner for the UAE, worth US$ 42 billion, excluding oil.
As of 2022, the United Arab Emirates was the one of the largest crude oil producer and the fourth-largest producer of petroleum liquids in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). The oil and gas sector is critical to the United Arab Emirates economy, contributing significantly to the country's revenue.
In November 2022, ADNOC announced an investment of USD 150 billion over the next five years to enable an "accelerated growth strategy" for oil and gas production.
Thus, this creates a strong demand for high-quality mechanical seals.
Habshan Trading Company (HTC) is a 100% locally-owned company which was established in 1975 by the Al-Mazrouie family. HTC is one of the major suppliers of industrial equipment to the Oil & Gas and Power sectors of the United Arab Emirates.
Sealmatic India Limited (further referred as "Sealmatic") & Al Habshan have partnered for selling, repair and refurbishment of Sealmatic mechanical seals in Abu Dhabi to serve customers in the oil and gas, petrochemical, power, water, desalination, chemical and other process industries.
