Al Shafar Electromechanical Engineering (SEM) was established in 1997, quickly becoming part of UAE’ s nascent construction industry. The year which followed took the company on an impressive growth path, with SEM now standing as a solid, mature and diversified organization.

With an established track record of major developments in its portfolio, and with strong strategic partnerships and an experienced and knowledgeable management team, the company is well positioned to continue supplying its excellent services well into the future. Being a market leader allowed the company to move up to the next level of construction project in terms of scale and diversity. At the same time, the rapidly rising demand for large scale innovative buildings within the UAE gave the company a golden opportunity to become a key contributor towards the development of the property industry, one of the region’s most successful economic drivers.

Whilst most of our growth has come organically, over the last two decades SEM has also acquired the number of complementary businesses (Now operating divisions of the group) each one a market leader in its own industry. The evolution of the company is best reflected by the very broad range of buildings with which the company is involved today. Our portfolio is not only geographically diverse but also includes a range of projects from schools to skyscrapers.
