Trojan Holding is a UAE based company headquartered in Abu Dhabi with a multinational workforce of over 25,000 employees operating at several office locations and
various project sites.
It comprises several industry-leading companies: Trojan General Contracting (TGC) specialising in mass housing projects, National Projects and Construction (NPC) specialising in high-rise and infrastructure projects, Royal Advance Electro- Mechanical, Reem Emirates Aluminum and Glass Factory, Hitech Precast & Block Works Factory, Phoenix Wood Works Factory, Al Maha Modular Steel Structures and Reem Ready Mix concrete factory.
Hamad Al Ameri, Managing Director of Trojan Holding said, “Diversity has always been at the heart of Trojan Holding’s vision. By pooling the resources of these specialist companies; it can offer discerning clients a single and cohesive construction entity that can deliver turnkey projects to a pre-agreed deadline and budget.”
Under the helm of Engineer Hamad Al Ameri, the business has grown exponentially across the UAE, the GCC and into
various international markets.
With substantial contracts acquired during its early years, Trojan Holding was able to accumulate a diverse construction portfolio covering projects across several sectors, such as residential, high-rise, mass housing, educational, hospitality, healthcare, retail and sports facilities and cement its strong
reputation within the region.
It currently has approximately 28 major construction contracts underway ranging from residential and commercial properties to retail and hospitality projects, including infrastructure contracts, as well as an array of services and offerings from building construction and infrastructure through to mechanical, electrical and Plumbing services (MEP) and even industrial and agricultural production.

Continued Growth
Last year, Trojan Holding finished the year with a record turnover while it has seen its consolidated revenue increase by 57 percent over a 3-year
period. The current expectation within the business is that this will increase as the market and the UAE economy continues to strengthen.
Trojan Holding has delivered some of the nation’s most prestigious projects and recognisable buildings from the iconic ‘Nation Towers’ along Abu Dhabi corniche, to the ‘Hills Abu Dhabi’, formerly known as Highland Resort Villas project, and a number of high-rise buildings and infrastructure development projects on Reem Island and in Abu
Dhabi city.
Currently, it is working in two large scale government housing projects in Al Ain, which will deliver 5000 villas. It also continues to expand its portfolio into the Dubai market by recently winning the Dh1 billion Mira Oasis 1393 Town Houses in Reem Dubai, Mudon 667 Town Houses in Al Qudra, Palm Tower hotel in Palm Jumeirah Island and several more high-end property developments by renowned developers such as Emaar, Nakheel and Dubai Properties among others.
Shaping the next-generation of engineering leaders
With an extremely strong business, the UAE based company prides itself in giving back, helping university students understand what their future career could hold and expose them to the fantastic opportunities a career in engineering can offer.
In Trojan’s bid to foster a new generation of engineering
leaders, it recently launched its nationwide vocational initiative, ‘100 Trojan young engineers’, that will give 100 of UAE’s engineering students the chance to get ahead in one of the most competitive employment markets in the country.
The initiative is the brainchild of the MD Hamad Al Ameri, who as an engineer by trade, understands better than most how essential their skills will be as the UAE builds towards the vision of a sustainable infrastructure.
Hamad Al Ameri continued, “The 100 Trojan Young Engineers initiative presents an exclusive advantage for students to gain tactical experience and be exposed to complex problem solving scenarios that arise in execution phase of a project. Our main goal is to make a difference in the lives of these students by providing them with a platform that allows them to extend their educational knowledge into the skills and tactics required in a practical, corporate workplace.”
The students selected for the month long internship will gain a unique experience at the internationally acclaimed establishment with projects ranging from infrastructure, mass housing, low rise to high rise, MEP works, concrete production, steel structure and facade glassing, with the top performing 18 students invited to stay on for a month long internship.

Not limited to vocational experience, the company has also employed around 300 graduates since 2014. A move that has seen a positive impact to the company that only comes with ‘new blood’ and fresh thinking, enabling the company to grow and evolve as a team.

Investing for the future
With interest in several companies under the Trojan Holding group, the company not only has the advantage and capability of delivering turnkey projects to its clients, but also aims to do more by helping the communities where its projects are being delivered through boosting local economies and employment.
Hamad Al Ameri added, “Using a steady stream of technological advancements, we are focussed on delivering energy efficient projects and implementing environmentally friendly approaches to help build a sustainable
infrastructure and future. In line with the 2030 vision, we are committed to reducing carbon emissions and energy consumption and incorporate advancements in renewable
energy such as solar technology where possible.”
With its reputation as a leader in its field, a strong pipeline of work and growing pool of talent, Trojan Holding is a UAE success story that keeps on growing from strength to strength, while also giving something back to the communities.
