Mammoet names top executives for Abu Dhabi operations

Mammoet, a global service provider specialising in engineered heavy lifting and transport, has boosted its Abu Dhabi team with the appointment of two senior industry executives - Enrico Luconi Trombacchi and Vimal Jose.

Trombacchi, who has previously held executive roles in the heavy lift and transport industry in the Middle East and North Africa, will head Mammoet's UAE branch, while Jose will be representing Mammoet as Operations Manager in Abu Dhabi.

He brings 13 years of heavy haulage experience in Abu Dhabi, alongside his extensive network and acumen with local port and transport rules and regulations.  

These appointments come at a time when the UAE is seeing an influx of new investments into its oil and gas, power, water and transportation sectors.

These investments have the potential to increase construction activity, making UAE a hot spot for logistics projects for the coming years, said the Netherlands-based company.  

As heavy lifting and transport play a pivotal role in industrial construction projects, Mammoet is gearing up in Abu Dhabi to facilitate these ambitious plans, it added.

The global leader in engineered heavy lifting and transport has partnered with marine equipment owners to support its barge and tug fleet.

Mammoet delivers streamlined heavy lifting and transport plans that secure the successful construction of any facility.

Combined with its existing fleet and market-leading global expertise, particularly in the field of barging, ballasting and sea-fastening, the new additions will strengthen Mammoet’s capability to meet the future developments and demands of the UAE construction market, said its top official.

Lauding the appointments, Martijn Kuipers, the managing director for Mammoet Middle East and Africa, said: "Both Trombacchi and Jose will bring great energy and enthusiasm to their roles, along with strategic industry experience specific to Abu Dhabi."

"The addition of these two new members is in line with our commitment to continue as the reliable and trusted heavy lift and transport service provider of choice in the UAE," stated Kuipers.

"We remain dedicated to delivering within the time frames set, reducing costs and ensuring an overall smooth, safe and timely execution of any project," he added.

As the first company of its type to establish offices in the emirates in 1976, Mammoet have been involved in some of the most iconic projects in the region such as Burj Al Arab, Dubai Metro, Dubai Mall, Ain Dubai observation wheel, Abu Dhabi Airport.-TradeArabia News Service
