YoY annual growth rate
Founded by KM Noordeen in 1988, Ocean Rubber Factory was built on a simple belief: if a solution doesn't exist, create it. Starting with specialised rubber sheets for desalination plants, the company has grown into a leading manufacturer of advanced rubber products that support essential infrastructure across the UAE and the wider region.
Over the years, Ocean Rubber Factory has developed a range of technically advanced products that were previously imported, including rubber solutions for bridges, earthquake-resistant structures, ports, and conveyor systems. By manufacturing these products locally, the company continues to strengthen regional industrial capabilities while delivering high-quality solutions to customers across multiple sectors.
As demand for its products continued to grow at around 20% annually, Ocean Rubber Factory expanded its operations to RAKEZ in 2007. The availability of larger industrial facilities, combined with the UAE's stable business environment and RAKEZ's supportive ecosystem, has enabled the company to scale its operations and continue its long-term growth journey.
"We have been expanding at the rate of 20% per year, and RAKEZ provided the space and supportive environment we needed to grow. We enjoy working here because of the ease of doing business and the excellent support we receive."
