About Strata Manufacturing
Strata Manufacturing is an aerospace company in Al Ain that makes parts for commercial aircraft. Founded in 2009 and owned by Mubadala, it was created to build an advanced manufacturing industry in the UAE.
The company produces composite aerostructures, which are parts made from lightweight, strong materials such as carbon fibre. Its products include parts of aircraft wings and tails, as well as interior components, used on aircraft from manufacturers such as Airbus and Boeing.
Composites are widely used in modern aircraft because they reduce weight, which saves fuel. Manufacturing them requires precision, cleanrooms and strict quality certification.
Strata has emphasised training Emirati engineers and technicians, with a large share of Emiratis in its workforce, including many women.
Its presence in Al Ain has helped bring high-skilled industrial jobs to the city, which is better known for its heritage sites and agriculture.
Aerospace is one of the industries the UAE has targeted for diversification, alongside companies such as Sanad, which maintains aircraft engines.
Startups UAE lists Strata Manufacturing among the UAE's advanced manufacturing companies.
