Manufacturing divisions and joint ventures
AlMansoori Petroleum Industries (AMPI) was established in Abu Dhabi in 2008 as a manufacturing subsidiary of the group. Micoda Process Systems International covers process systems, and Specialized Oilfield Products builds wireline and well service equipment, with both divisions publishing their own contact details. NOV AlMansoori Services is a joint venture with NOV. Together these businesses make up the group's industrial side, which manufactures oilfield equipment and supplies after-sales support to customers inside and outside the Emirates.
