Dubai, UAE - November 25, 2025
In a significant milestone for the aerospace and defense sectors in the MENA region, ALA Group, a prominent global supply chain integrator, has announced a new joint venture with OWS Automotive during the highly anticipated Dubai Air Show 2025. This collaboration marks a transformative moment aimed at revolutionizing supply chain management within aviation and defense across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and wider MENA territories.
The partnership, which was celebrated with industry leaders and key governmental stakeholders present, is set to provide a robust platform for aviation and defense clients, including comprehensive services such as global parts sourcing, kitting and assembly, maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) support, as well as just-in-time delivery solutions. The headquarters of the new joint venture will be in the UAE, with plans already on the table for expansion into other regions within MENA.
Vittorio Genna, Co-Founder and Vice President of ALA Group, emphasized the significance of this agreement, stating, “This signing is a pivotal step in realizing our shared vision of creating a world-class supply chain hub in the GCC.” He highlighted the mutual ambition of both companies to not only support localization efforts but also enhance operational efficiency and ensure that regional partners gain access to top-tier aerospace and defense solutions.
The newly formed entity is poised to make an immediate impact by actively engaging with major clients from the start. ALA Group and OWS Automotive are determined to utilize their collective expertise and regional understanding to strengthen the supply chain ecosystem, aligning it with global best practices while catering to local needs.
Mauro Romano, CEO of ALA MENA, reflected on the long-term aspirations of the partnership, stating, “This is the beginning of a long-term commitment to empowering the region’s aviation and defense sectors through innovation, resilience, and collaboration.” His comments underline the cooperative spirit that ALA and OWS intend to foster as they create new avenues for growth and development in these critical industries.
OWS Automotive’s CEO, Oweis Zahran, remarked on the extensive preparatory work leading up to this significant day, noting, “This signing is the culmination of months of planning and shared effort. Together with ALA, we are building a powerful ecosystem that will bolster regional self-sufficiency and drive long-term growth.” Together, they aim to craft solutions that not only support MRO services but also redefine how defense and aviation sectors operate within the region.
The Dubai Air Show served as an ideal backdrop for the announcement, further solidifying the role of their partnership in shaping the future of aviation and defense in the Middle East. Both companies are situating themselves to leverage the existing growth trends and potential opportunities present in the aerospace sector while committing to quality and service excellence.
