Khansaheb Group, one of the UAE’s most prominent construction and engineering conglomerates, has bolstered its industrial and infrastructure capabilities with the acquisition of ANABEEB, a leading manufacturer of industrial piping solutions. This strategic move, which was finalized with the purchase of ANABEEB from EMSTEEL Building Materials, further expands Khansaheb’s diversified portfolio and reinforces its position as a key player in the region’s integrated infrastructure market.
A Legacy of Innovation and Diversification
Khansaheb Group has a rich history of over 90 years in the UAE, evolving into a diversified family-owned business that spans multiple sectors of the built environment. Over the decades, the group has established itself as a leader in civil engineering, facilities management, and HVAC solutions, while also diversifying into sectors like property management, aviation safety, healthcare, and sustainability.
The company’s dedication to creating high-quality, sustainable solutions is evident in its various divisions, which include:
- Khansaheb Civil Engineering: The UAE’s longest-established contractor, known for delivering complex and high-quality civil engineering projects.
- Khansaheb Facilities Management: A division providing comprehensive, end-to-end facilities management services to various industries.
- Khansaheb Industries: Focused on providing innovative, sustainability-led HVAC solutions to support green buildings and energy efficiency.
Through its growth and diversification, Khansaheb has developed a reputation for excellence, with an ability to adapt to new market demands and innovate within the industries it serves.
Strengthening Infrastructure Capabilities with ANABEEB
The acquisition of ANABEEB marks a significant step for Khansaheb Group, adding a critical new dimension to its capabilities. ANABEEB is renowned for its manufacturing of high-performance PVC and GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) pipes, essential for water, wastewater, irrigation, and industrial infrastructure networks. The company operates the largest CC-GRP pipe production facility in the Middle East, capable of producing pipes, fittings, and other related products that support large-scale infrastructure projects.
ANABEEB’s facility is designed for durability and efficiency, featuring four advanced production lines with an impressive annual capacity of 33,000 metric tonnes. The integration of ANABEEB’s manufacturing expertise into Khansaheb’s portfolio strengthens its ability to deliver fully integrated infrastructure solutions. This means Khansaheb can now offer a complete suite of services, from manufacturing and construction to engineering and facilities management—all under one umbrella.
This expansion allows Khansaheb to broaden its scope in handling large-scale infrastructure projects and reinforces its standing as a regional leader in integrated infrastructure solutions. The deal not only strengthens the group’s manufacturing capabilities but also opens doors for further growth and innovation across various infrastructure sectors.
Enhancing the UAE’s Vision for Sustainable Development
Saudi Arabia and the UAE have both embarked on ambitious plans for sustainable infrastructure development as part of their long-term economic diversification efforts. As part of the UAE’s Vision 2030, Khansaheb Group has positioned itself at the forefront of this transformation by continuously expanding its expertise and adopting sustainability-driven practices in its projects. With ANABEEB joining the group, Khansaheb is further equipped to support the nation’s infrastructure ambitions while contributing to environmentally responsible development.
Abdulrahman Khansaheb, the Managing Director of Khansaheb Group, highlighted that this acquisition aligns with the group’s core values of creating solutions that not only transform businesses but also support the UAE’s long-term goals for development. “This acquisition strengthens our end-to-end infrastructure capabilities, reinforcing our role as a regional leader in delivering advanced, sustainable solutions,” Khansaheb said.
He further emphasized the importance of maintaining the same level of quality, innovation, and reliability that Khansaheb Group has built its reputation on. By adding ANABEEB’s expertise in industrial pipe manufacturing, Khansaheb is now positioned to offer even more comprehensive infrastructure solutions that cater to the growing demand for sustainable and reliable public services.
Transforming the Regional Infrastructure Market
The integration of ANABEEB into Khansaheb’s operations comes at a time when the demand for robust infrastructure solutions is at an all-time high in the UAE and across the wider GCC region. As urbanization accelerates and environmental challenges become more pressing, the need for durable, efficient, and sustainable infrastructure solutions has never been greater.
ANABEEB’s extensive experience in producing high-quality pipes and fittings for water, wastewater, and irrigation systems positions it as a key partner for regional infrastructure development. The acquisition also gives Khansaheb an opportunity to expand its reach into new markets, providing key support for the GCC’s ambitious plans for economic development, urbanization, and environmental sustainability.
In the past, Khansaheb has already made significant investments in innovative and sustainable solutions through divisions such as Khansaheb Sustainability, which focuses on providing environmentally conscious services. The addition of ANABEEB strengthens this initiative, helping the company to deliver more sustainable, long-lasting infrastructure solutions that align with the UAE’s climate goals and the region’s evolving needs.
The Future of Khansaheb Group and ANABEEB
Looking ahead, Khansaheb’s acquisition of ANABEEB is expected to play a pivotal role in the group’s expansion strategy, further solidifying its standing as one of the UAE’s most diversified and forward-thinking construction and engineering enterprises. The synergy between Khansaheb’s established strengths in construction, facilities management, and HVAC solutions, coupled with ANABEEB’s industrial manufacturing capabilities, creates a powerful platform for delivering comprehensive, turnkey infrastructure solutions.
With the acquisition now complete, Khansaheb Group is poised to embark on a new chapter of growth, leveraging its enhanced capabilities to support major infrastructure projects across the UAE and GCC. The group’s diverse portfolio allows it to deliver a full spectrum of services, from the design and construction of critical infrastructure to the manufacturing of essential materials, creating an integrated solution that meets the needs of clients and partners alike.
Furthermore, as ANABEEB integrates into Khansaheb’s operations, the group is likely to expand its footprint in the global infrastructure market, offering its innovative, sustainable solutions to international clients and partners. By combining manufacturing expertise with engineering, construction, and facilities management, Khansaheb is well-positioned to lead the charge in providing end-to-end infrastructure solutions that meet the challenges of the 21st century.
Building for the Future
Khansaheb Group’s acquisition of ANABEEB is a significant step in its ongoing efforts to diversify and expand its business operations, reinforcing its position as a leader in the UAE’s infrastructure and construction sectors. By integrating ANABEEB’s manufacturing expertise with its own established capabilities, Khansaheb is now able to offer comprehensive, sustainable infrastructure solutions that will help drive economic development across the GCC.
The deal is a testament to Khansaheb Group’s long-term vision of creating high-quality, integrated solutions that support the region’s growth and sustainability goals. As the group continues to strengthen its industrial footprint and diversify its offerings, it remains committed to driving innovation, efficiency, and sustainability in the UAE’s infrastructure market and beyond.
