Automotive Precision Technology (APT) is an Abu Dhabi-based aluminium parts manufacturing subsidiary fully owned by Al Ghurair Group; a United Arab Emirates (UAE) headquartered conglomerate. With over 20 years of experience and formerly called REFCO Metals, our origins are from the acquisition of British company Sport Carrier Ltd (founded in 1997), itself a UK-based aluminium alloy extrusion fabrication and surface treatment specialist, supplying the automotive trade. Automotive Precision Technology (APT)’s 2021 purpose-built manufacturing facility of 98,000 Sq ft is situated in Kizad, Abu Dhabi, UAE. The original REFCO Metals Dubai plant in Jebel Ali was the first of its kind in the UAE. At our core, we process automotive-grade aluminium alloy extrusions from billet to finished component (made to customer specification), using various state-of-the-art production processes, technologies and techniques.

Our primary billets originate from the UAE-based Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA), as an external supplier to our in-group extruder, Gulf Extrusions. Located in KIZAD industrial zone adjacent to Gulf Extrusions Abu Dhabi facility, APT produces over 4 million parts a year for automotive customers around the world. Components produced include electric vehicle battery applications, body and chassis parts, sill and rocker parts and bumper sub-assemblies. With strategically placed global warehousing and logistics facilities, Automotive Precision Technology (APT) is well-positioned to supply the global market with ongoing production parts.
