The framework outlines how the companies propose to collaborate on concrete protection opportunities, including major projects requiring concrete mattress, concrete sleepers, and related protection and infrastructure solutions. The agreement was formally established via the signing of a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) during ADIPEC in Abu Dhabi by Richard Turner, Chief Executive Officer of Tekmar, and Haris Giatsos, Chief Executive Officer of NMDC Infra.

The agreement is in line with Project Aurora, which included identifying opportunities to broaden Tekmar’s addressable market, such as expanding the range of concrete protection solutions available to customers across offshore energy projects.

NMDC Infra is a leader in civil construction, with a focus on marine protection products, delivering complex, high-value, and nationally significant projects with precision. It is part of NMDC Group, an integrated energy and marine services, engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) organization, with a footprint spanning the MENA region, South Asia, and beyond.

Richard Turner, Chief Executive Officer of Tekmar, commented: “Establishing this framework strengthens our relationship with NMDC Infra, providing the basis on which we can collaborate to pursue future opportunities across the region. The Middle East remains a core market for Tekmar, with long-term projects of national and international importance, offering material opportunities for ongoing growth, alongside other established markets. Key to unlocking those opportunities and expanding our presence in the region is the development of long-term and trusted relationships, which this framework helps to support.”

Haris Giatsos, Chief Executive Officer of NMDC Infra, commented: “This MOU builds on our strong relationship with Tekmar and brings together NMDC Infra’s track record in delivering complex marine infrastructure with Tekmar’s engineering expertise in asset protection. We look forward to exploring how, together, we can offer clients in the UAE and across the region a broader range of concrete protection solutions, delivered to the highest standards of quality and reliability.”
