At its core is a highly advanced laboratory, enabling in-house testing, validation, and continuous product development.

The facility is operated in partnership with an experienced industry operator, bringing proven technical expertise and manufacturing know-how, while COTI retains strategic oversight of production, quality, and output alignment with its platform requirements.

In addition to its operational role, the facility contributes to the local industrial ecosystem in the UAE by creating skilled employment opportunities, supporting knowledge transfer, and attracting regional talent across technical and operational functions—aligned with national priorities around advanced manufacturing and economic diversification.
