“Himatrix Group’s inauguration at Dubai Industrial City is a testament to market confidence in our ecosystem, which embodies the goals of the Operation 300bn, Make it in the Emirates, and Dubai Economic Agenda ‘D33’ strategies to promote the manufacturing sector’s expansion in the UAE and beyond. Such specialised laboratories strengthen the industrial cycle that our ecosystem offers to its customers, and we welcome Himatrix Group to unlock opportunities and target further growth from its new base at our district.”

The company plans to expand its partnerships with global leaders in the field of instrumentation engineering, such as Radwag, Sciex, Ametek, Kruss and Wipotec, and present them with new technology opportunities, through the facility.

Nadeer Ali, Founder and Managing Director of Himatrix Group, said: “Innovative ventures such as our new facility at Dubai Industrial City will provide our Middle East customers with unparalleled service quality, setting new benchmarks in customer service not only for the pharmaceutical sector but also for other industries requiring advanced measurement technologies.

“We are proud to unveil our new establishment in the heart of Dubai. For us, it represents not just a space for further innovation but more significantly, another step toward excellence. This facility is a crucial part of our mission to deliver exceptional solutions for our clients and guide them through the latest trends and updates in the realm of mass measurement metrology, analytical science, and physical testing.”
