History

In 2011, construction began on a new factory within the Tawazun Industrial Park in Abu Dhabi, including facilities for research and development, production, and marketing of the NIMR. A secondary metal fabrication plant was set up in Al Ain, UAE. NIMR's Production Facility is located on an area of 37,500 Sq/m in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates. In July 2012 it was disclosed that Algeria and the United Arab Emirates signed an agreement to jointly produce NIMR armoured vehicles in Algeria. Under the CKD, these agreements between the Algerian Ministry of Defence's Mechanical Industry Promotion Group and Tawazun Holdings of the UAE, the NIMR-Algerie Joint Stock Company was established to produce 4x4 armoured station wagon variants. In June 2014 NIMR Automotive held a ground-breaking ceremony for its new integrated facility for production of NIMR vehicles at the Tawazun Industrial Park in Abu Dhabi. The facility, which will have a built-up area of 37,500 square meters in addition to a test track and service center, was scheduled to be fully operational by December 2015. In December 2014, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government announced the creation of a national state-controlled defence group (Emirates Defence Industries Company (EDIC) through the merger of some military organisations in the Mubalada Development Company, Tawazun Holdings, and Emirates Advanced Investments Group (EAIG). NIMR Automotive LLC is a defence vehicle manufacturer. NIMR is a member of the Abu Dhabi Government owned Emirates Defence Industries Company (EDIC). NIMR produces wheeled military vehicles which are designed, manufactured and assembled entirely in the UAE. NIMR's range of 4x4 and 6x6 vehicles are available in armoured or non-armoured configurations, with modular configurable crew capacity and payload.
