AT-PAC has officially launched a dedicated business in the United Arab Emirates, strengthening its presence in one of the world’s busiest industrial and energy markets.

Although the company has worked with customers across the Middle East for several years alongside fellow umdasch Group company Doka, 1 July marks the formal establishment of AT-PAC UAE as a standalone business.

The move gives the scaffolding and access specialist a permanent base to support contractors working across the region’s oil and gas, petrochemical, industrial maintenance, marine, shipbuilding and energy sectors.

The new operation will also support major infrastructure and event projects, supplying AT-PAC’s Ringlock scaffolding system together with engineering, design and project support.

David White, Regional Managing Director for AT-PAC Middle East & Africa

David White, Regional Managing Director for AT-PAC Middle East & Africa, said the company had already built strong relationships across the region.

“We’ve built strong relationships throughout the region over recent years and today represents an exciting new chapter as we officially establish AT-PAC in the Middle East.

“We’re already supporting major industrial and infrastructure projects across the UAE, and our local team is backed by the global engineering expertise, product innovation and project experience that AT-PAC has developed around the world.”

White said continued investment across the Middle East created opportunities for specialist access providers.

“The broader Middle East continues to invest in world-class industrial facilities. We’re excited to partner with contractors and EPCs by delivering access solutions that help projects operate more safely, efficiently and productively.”

Headquartered in Atlanta, USA, AT-PAC was founded in 1995 and supplies scaffolding systems for industrial sectors including oil and gas, mining, refining, power generation and infrastructure construction.

The company became part of the umdasch Group in 2023 and now operates within umdasch Industrial Solutions. The UAE launch extends AT-PAC’s branch network across the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, as it continues to expand its international footprint.
