Arab Shipbuilding and Repair Yard (ASRY), a major maritime industrial hub, and Roboze, a pioneer in additive manufacturing technologies for high-performance super-polymers and composite materials, have signed a partnership agreement to establish Bahrain’s first industrial facility dedicated to advanced additive manufacturing. The new plant will be located within ASRY’s premises in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
The facility is designed to directly support marine MRO operations, as well as the oil & gas, energy, aerospace, and defence sectors, domains where access to high-performance, lightweight, and durable components is essential for operational continuity. ASRY and Roboze will jointly define and engineer the new production infrastructure, integrating industrial 3D printing, advanced super-polymer processing, composite manufacturing, and digitalized workflows. The goal is to reduce downtime, optimize spare-parts management, and provide on-demand production of critical components, minimizing logistics costs and dependency on foreign suppliers. The collaboration brings together ASRY’s industrial and maintenance expertise with Roboze’s technological leadership in additive manufacturing with high-performance materials, recognized by the Kingdom of Bahrain as a “Strategic Technology of Interest.”
