MATRADE leads Malaysian OGSE delegation to ADIPEC

The Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation, MATRADE, is spearheading a delegation of six leading Malaysian Oil & Gas Services and Equipment firms to the ADIPEC 2026 event. This delegation is set to take place at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) in the United Arab Emirates. The visit to ADIPEC underscores Malaysia's dedication to broadening its global OGSE export reach and strengthening regional energy collaborations.

Malaysia boasts a mature supply chain of more than 1,800 active OGSE companies, many of which have a proven history in the Middle East. ADIPEC provides Malaysian businesses a crucial commercial platform to strengthen their market presence across the MENA region. This mission is aimed at promoting innovation, sustainable practices, and the broader global energy transformation.

Petroleum products are a key pillar of Malaysia's trade sector, being the second-largest export contributor. During the first nine months of 2026, petroleum product exports reached a total value of $24.37 billion, accounting for 6.3% of the nation's overall exports. Malaysia's participation at ADIPEC highlights the OGSE sector's resilience and its ongoing pursuit of new growth opportunities in the dynamic global energy scene.

Malaysian oil and gas companies possess exceptional capabilities spanning the entire energy value chain, from offshore and onshore fabrication to conceptual engineering, marine repair and conversion, and specialized drilling management. Regardless of global economic fluctuations, the GCC and wider MENA regions remain crucial strategic markets. MATRADE is committed to promoting enduring market access and high-value partnerships for these Malaysian capability suppliers.

MATRADE has participated in ADIPEC for the 12th time in a row since 2014. The six Malaysian companies will exhibit practical hardware-integrated digital solutions, including intelligent battery monitoring systems and gas equipment capable of tracking and minimizing leakage. Additionally, they will showcase proven mechanical innovations, such as portable machining, maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) solutions, and environmentally friendly drilling fluids.

Moreover, MATRADE acts as a direct link for global buyers to connect with Malaysia's extensive network of specialized AI, drone, and data analytics solutions in the O&G sector. By highlighting these cutting-edge technologies, MATRADE continues to position Malaysia as a dependable and competitive provider of engineering, equipment, and technical proficiency to the international energy industry.
